With an AWS account you can easily deploy a private AnythingLLM instance on AWS. This will create a url that you can access from any browser over HTTP (HTTPS not supported). This single instance will run on your own keys and they will not be exposed - however if you want your instance to be protected it is highly recommend that you set the `AUTH_TOKEN` and `JWT_SECRET` variables in the `docker/` ENV.
+**Quick Launch**
+2. Log in to your AWS account
+3. Open [CloudFormation](https://us-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home)
+4. Ensure you are deploying in a geographic zone that is nearest to your physical location to reduce latency.
+5. Click `Create Stack`
+6. Use the file `aws_no_creds.json` as your JSON template.
+7. Launch. On first boot fill out your ENV keys and you are fully live.
+Done.

Your instance will not be available instantly. Depending on the instance size you launched with it can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes to fully boot up.

+If you want to check the instance's progress, navigate to [your deployed EC2 instances](https://us-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home) and connect to your instance via SSH in browser.
Once connected run `sudo tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log` and wait for the file to conclude deployment of the docker image.
