Hey Elad, I took a stab at modifying this to be consistent with the other project checkpoints, in terms of format. I'm not sure if I nailed everything though, so please comment as you see fit. I think it could definitely use some more explanation around how AWS, Fog and Mongo come into the picture. Also, I used the term "restart" rather than "rotate" because I think people are more accustomed to that term. Let me know if I'm missing something though. Here's my fork:
