We have AWS on board to publish a Quick Start guide for GitLab on AWS. The QuickStart guide is a production-ready deployment of a product, so this is an excellent vehicle for our customers to start using GitLab. More details about the QuickStart can be found [here](https://aws-quickstart.github.io/). Here's [BitBucket's Quick Start](https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/bitbucket/) as a reference ([pdf](https://s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-reference/atlassian/bitbucket/latest/doc/bitbucket-data-center-on-the-aws-cloud.pdf)). Here's the process to get the Quick Start guide live: 1. [x] Have an AWS AMI Ready with GitLab or an AMI already hosted on the AWS Marketplace 1. [ ] Create CloudFormation template ([AWS docs](https://aws-quickstart.github.io/)) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/2176 1. [ ] Writing the [Quick Start template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/37877) 1. [ ] Update the AWS page https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/1246 1. [ ] Send it back to AWS (Antoine) for validation - @eliran.mesika 1. [ ] Sending the attached Apache 2.0 statement to quickstart@amazon.com (copy Antoine): > “I agree that I am licensing Amazon to modify and use all content provided as part of the [insert project/service name/technology] Quick Start project.
