Step-by-step Guide

1. Using the instructions below, create the tutorial environment using AWS CloudFormation. It will take approximately 40 minutes for the CloudFormation stack to be fully deployed.

CloudFormation

Read through all steps below and watch the quick video before clicking the Deploy to AWS button.

1. Click on the Deploy to AWS button and follow the CloudFormation prompts to begin.

   Amazon FSx is currently available in 11 regions.

   File system creation is currently not supported in the following Availability Zones:

   Region	Availability Zone ID	Mapping
   N. Virginia (us-east-1)	use1-az3	Open the us-east-1 VPC console for AZ mapping.
   Oregon (us-west-2)	usw2-az4	Open the us-west-2 VPC console for AZ mapping.
   Sydney (ap-southeast-2)	apse2-az3	Open the ap-southeast-2 VPC console for AZ mapping.
   Tokyo (ap-northeast-1)	apne1-az3	Open the ap-northeast-1 VPC console for AZ mapping.
   Frankfurt (eu-central-1)	euc1-az1	Open the eu-central-1 VPC console for AZ mapping.

   When selecting availability zones in the CloudFormation create stack wizard, take care not to select an availability zone mapped to one of the Availability Zone IDs listed above.

   Tip	Context-click (right-click) the Deploy to AWS button and open the link in a new tab or window to make it easy to navigate between this github tutorial and the AWS Console.
