AWS account setup
If you don't already have an AWS account, create an account or use an existing account.
Configure your credentials locally (see official documentation)
Check your configuration:
$ aws sts get-caller-identity
{
"UserId": "AID...YOUR_USER_ID",
"Account": "123456789",
"Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:user/crafteo"
}
You're good to go ! Create your instance with

Quotas
You may need to increase quota to create the related instance type. If you get an error related to quota:
- Go to AWS console and open "Service Quotas" service
- Go to AWS Services > search for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and open it
- Search for Running On-Demand G and VT instances (or the related instance type) and request a quota increase
- Use a quota value according to the instance type you want to use. For example,
2xlarge
requires at least 8 vCPU.
See AWS service quotas for details.
