Amazon Web Services

Phirestream on AWS is a virtual machine-based product. It runs in EC2 on its own EC2 instance. A free trial period is available during which there is no charge for the Phirestream software but there may be charges for the underlying AWS infrastructure.

Launch Phirestream in AWS

  1. Go to Phirestream in the AWS Marketplace. On this page you can see the Phirestream overview, the pricing, and the supported EC2 instance types.

  2. Select an instance type. We recommend m5.large. The smaller instance types are intended only for testing and are not well-suited for production usage.

  3. Click the “Continue to Subscribe” button.

  4. View and accept Phirestream’s license agreement. Then click “Accept Terms.”

  5. The subscription will now be created, and you will be notified when it is ready! This usually only takes less than a minute.
