Challenge 3: Two Different Capstone Shapes — Solution Walkthrough

Summary:

Web Servers Fundamentals' own capstone applied a five-question
decision framework across three different named scenarios, because
that course's whole purpose was comparing Apache, Nginx, and IIS and
helping decide which one fits a given job. This course's own capstone
instead builds one single, cohesive production configuration, layering
in Chapters 2 through 9 step by step, because this course is Nginx-only
and assumes that choice was already made — there's no comparison left
to make, only a real configuration left to build correctly.

Why this difference makes sense:

A comparative course naturally produces a capstone that exercises
comparison across multiple scenarios; a deep-dive, single-technology
course naturally produces a capstone that exercises depth across one
cohesive, realistic build. Matching each capstone's shape to what its
own course was actually teaching, rather than forcing both courses
into an identical capstone template, is exactly what makes each
capstone feel like a genuine culmination of its own material rather
than a generic wrap-up exercise.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise checks that the relationship between these two
capstones is understood as a deliberate design choice tied to each
course's own actual scope — comparative vs. deep-dive — rather than
an inconsistency between the two courses.
