4. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables at minimum. To change node counts and sizes, see `node sizes`.
1. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables:
- `aws_access_key` - Amazon AWS Access Key
- `aws_secret_key` - Amazon AWS Secret Key
- `rancher_server_admin_password` - Admin password for created Rancher server
- `aws_access_key` - Amazon AWS Access Key
- `aws_secret_key` - Amazon AWS Secret Key
- `ssh_key_name` - Amazon AWS Key Pair Name
- `prefix` - Resource Prefix
5. **Optional:** Modify the count of the various node types within `terraform.tfvars`. See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) for more information on the variables.

See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) and the [AWS Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/tree/master/aws) for more information.
Suggestions include:
- `aws_region` - Amazon AWS region, choose the closest instead of the default
- `prefix` - Prefix for all created resources
- `instance_type` - EC2 instance size used, minimum is `t3a.medium` but `t3a.large` or `t3a.xlarge` could be used if within budget
- `ssh_key_file_name` - Use a specific SSH key instead of `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (public key is assumed to be `${ssh_key_file_name}.pub`)

Apply complete! Resources: 16 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
**Result:** Rancher Server and your Kubernetes cluster is installed in Amazon AWS.
Outputs:
rancher_node_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx
rancher_server_url = https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
workload_node_ip = yy.yy.yy.yy

#### Result
Two Kubernetes clusters are deployed into your AWS account, one running Rancher Server and the other ready for experimentation deployments.
