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

cloudypad create

You may need to increase quota to create the related instance type. If you get an error related to quota:

Go to AWS EC2 quota console (or search for "Quota" in the AWS console and go to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) quota page)
For Spot instances: search for All G and VT Spot Instance Requests (or the related instance type) and request a quota increase
For On-Demand instances: 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.
