The deployment is automated by AWS CloudFormation templates and scripts that build an example multi-tier, Linux-based web application in the AWS Cloud in about 30 minutes. Customers can customize the templates to build a repeatable, auditable reference architecture that meets their specific needs. The Quick Start includes a deployment guide that describes the architecture in detail and provides step-by-step instructions for deploying, configuring, and validating the AWS environment. The Quick Start also includes a security controls reference that maps the Quick Start’s architecture decisions, components, and configurations to certain HIPAA regulatory requirements.
