This guide is intended as a supplement to the APEX File Storage for AWS Deployment Guide. Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud and storage administrators can use this guide to deploy the AWS infrastructure resources automatically for deploying and configuring OneFS as an Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance on AWS. To use this guide effectively, administrators should be familiar with the AWS cloud services, including EC2, Elastic Block Storage (EBS), VPC, and IAM. After you have deployed a cluster, it is recommended to refer to APEX File Storage for AWS Getting Started Guide on the Dell Technologies Support website for more details about OneFS.
