Run in Amazon Web Services

CloudFormation simplifies the process of configuring and starting a VoltDB cluster using Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources. (To use AWS, you will need an Amazon account.) When you are ready, follow these simple steps to create a three node VoltDB cluster in the cloud:

1. Use the link below to start the VoltDB template in Amazon CloudFormation.
2. On the first screen ("Specify Parameters"), choose the availability zone and instance type you want to use. An instance type of m2.xlarge or larger is recommended. You can also choose which database schema to start with from the VoltDB sample applications. Click "Next" when you are done.
3. On the second screen ("Options"), enter any tags you want to include in the stack. No tags are required, so feel free to take the defaults. Click "next" when you are done.
4. On the third screen ("Review") review your choices and click "Create" to create your VoltDB cluster.

After you click "create," you are taken to the CloudFormation dashboard and your cluster resources are assigned, configured, and started. This process takes 5-10 minutes. Click on the "Events" tab to see the log messages. Once you see "CREATE_COMPLETE" reported for the stack, your cluster is ready. Click on the "Outputs" tab for quick links to the live VoltDB catalog report and the ssh command to start the client application for the example database you chose in Step 1.

Note: The VoltDB CloudFormation template creates instances using AWS. These services are billed to the Amazon account used to run the template. You are responsible for all costs associated with the server instances you create.
