+weight: 100

+The following steps will quickly deploy a Rancher Server with a single node cluster attached
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+>**Note**
+>Deploying to Amazon AWS will incur charges.
+
+- [Amazon AWS Account](https://aws.amazon.com/account/): An Amazon AWS Account is required to create resources for deploying Rancher and Kubernetes
+- [Amazon AWS Access Key](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/managing-aws-access-keys.html): Use this link to follow a tutorial to create an Amazon AWS Access Key if you don't have one yet.
+- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html): Used to provision the server and cluster in Amazon AWS.
+
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone [Rancher Quickstart](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) to a folder using `git clone https://github.com/rancher/quickstart`.
+
+2. Go into the AWS folder containing the terraform file by executing `cd quickstart/aws`.
+
+3. Rename the `terraform.tfvars.example` file to `terraform.tfvars`.
+
+4. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables at minimum. To change node counts and sizes, see node sizes
+
+  - `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.
+
+6. Run `terraform init`.
+
+7. To initiate the creation of the environment, run `terraform apply`. Then wait for the following output:
+
+	```
+	Apply complete! Resources: 3 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed. 
+	  Outputs: 
+	  rancher-url = [ 
+              https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
+      ]
+	```
+
+8. Paste the `rancher-url` from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default password is `admin`).
+
+**Result:** Rancher Server and your Kubernetes cluster is installed in Amazon AWS.
+
+### What's Next?
+
+Use Rancher to create a deployment. For more information, see [Creating Deployments]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/quick-start-guide/workload).
+
+## Destroying the Environment
+
+1. From the `quickstart/aws` folder, execute `terraform destroy --auto-approve`.
+
+2. Wait for confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
