== Summary

There are three phases or steps to create the Amazon FSx File Gateway Workshop environment. Below is the workshop diagram that shows the entire environment once all three setup phases have been completed.

In the *Workshop Diagram*, Region 1 represents the AWS environment where the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is running. Region 2 is a different AWS Region than Region 1 and simulates a remote environment where the FSx File Gateway is running. This region (Region 2) represents an on-premises site, remote office, branch office, or some facility remote from the AWS region running the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server.

- Phase 1 - Deploy the Region 1 environment hosting the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server using AWS CloudFormation
- Phase 2 - Deploy the Region 2 environment hosting the remote Amazon FSx File Gateway EC2 instance using AWS CloudFormation
- Phase 3 - Create the Amazon FSx File Gateway service components using the AWS Management Console in Region 1

It will take approximately 2 hours to complete the entire workshop, including 40 minutes for the workshop environments to be deployed and created.

IMPORTANT: This tutorial environment will exceed your free-usage tier. You will incur charges as a result of deploying and running this workshop. This workshop will take approximately 2 hours to complete with an estimated cost of ~$7.50.
