^|link:=../../templates/aws-vpc.template.yaml[View template^]
|===

Also, make sure that the domain name option in the DHCP options is configured as explained in the http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html[Amazon VPC documentation^]. You provide your VPC settings when you launch the Quick Start.

Each deployment takes about {deployment_time} to complete.

[start=2]
. Check the AWS Region that’s displayed in the upper-right corner of the navigation bar, and change it if necessary. This is where the network infrastructure for {partner-product-name} will be built. The template is launched in the {default_deployment_region} Region by default.

// *Note:* This deployment includes Amazon EFS, which isn’t currently supported in all AWS Regions. For a current list of supported Regions, see the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/elasticfilesystem.html[endpoints and quotas webpage].

[start=3]
. On the *Create stack* page, keep the default setting for the template URL, and then choose *Next*.
. On the *Specify stack details* page, change the stack name if needed. Review the parameters for the template. Provide values for the parameters that require input. For all other parameters, review the default settings and customize them as necessary. For example, you can change the network configuration parameters if you
want to reconfigure the subnet segmentation used for the VPC, as discussed earlier in
the link:#_subnet_sizing[Subnet Sizing] section.

// In the following tables, parameters are listed by category and described separately for the two deployment options:

// * Parameters for deploying {partner-product-name} into a new VPC
// * Parameters for deploying {partner-product-name} into an existing VPC
