This Quick Start reference deployment guide discusses architectural considerations and configuration steps for deploying a modular Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) environment on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It also provides links for viewing and launching http://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/[AWS CloudFormation] templates that automate the deployment. The guide is for IT infrastructure architects, DevOps engineers, and administrators who would like to build a flexible, modular AWS networking infrastructure as a baseline for their deployments. http://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/[Quick Starts] are automated reference deployments for AWS Cloud infrastructure components and key enterprise workloads on the AWS Cloud. Each Quick Start launches, configures, and runs AWS compute, network, storage, and other services, using AWS best practices for security and availability.
