# Overview #

There are a number of required steps to setup an Amazon AWS EC2 account and 
configure certain things before Cloud Pack is functional for the end-user.

The CloudPack documentation should help an end-user who has never used Amazon 
EC2 or Puppet quickly get started.

At a high level these are:

 1. Create an AWS Account
 1. Create an SSH key pair and download the SSH private key
 1. Find and copy / paste your access key ID and secret access key
 1. Re-configure the default security group to allow port 22 (SSH) inbound
 1. Select an AMI to use (There's a TON, which to pick?)
 1. Select an image size (--type) to use

These actions are not specific to Puppet and Cloud Pack, but rather specific to 
Amazon AWS EC2.  Since they're required actions and common stumbling blocks for 
people it would be nice to help the end user overcome these issues.
