Quick Start with Stash and AWS

Set up a CloudFormation stack using the Atlassian Stash Server template.

To get started using Stash in AWS

1. Sign in to the AWS Console, and go to Services > CloudFormation.
2. Click Create Stack.

3. Select Specify an Amazon S3 template URL field and paste in

   http://atlassian-software.s3.amazonaws.com/templates/stash/StashServer.template

4. When filling in Parameters, make sure you fill in the parameters appropriately for your organization. 

   CidrBlock: You can optionally restrict access to your instance to an IP address range in CIDR notation. NOTE: using 0.0.0.0/0 means unrestricted access. KeyName (REQUIRED): Make sure you have access to the private key file for the EC2 Key Pair you have selected. Without this file, you won't be able to SSH into your instance. See Creating an EC2 Key Pair. SSLCertificate: You can optionally generate a self-signed SSL certificate, forcing all Web access to your instance to use HTTPS. See Installing an SSL certificate in your Stash instance. VPC and Subnet (REQUIRED): Choose the right public or private VPC for your account, and make sure the Subnet is within the VPC.

   See Securing Stash in AWS for more information about these options. 

5. Once your CloudFormation stack has finished, select the Outputs tab and click the URL.
