AWS deployment parameters

This page documents the AWS parameters you need to configure when deploying Automation Suite to AWS.

Important:

The Template-hosting S3 Region parameter must match exactly the AWS region in which you try to deploy. If the region does not match, the deployment does not succeed.

Keep the default settings for the parameters labeled Quick Start S3 bucket name, Quick Start S3 bucket Region, and Quick Start S3 key prefix. If these input parameters are altered, the deployment does not succeed.
