1 | 2 | ## IBM Spectrum Scale on the AWS Cloud |
2 | | -Spectrum Scale version 4.2.3-1 |
3 | 3 |
|
4 | | -### Deployment options: |
5 | | -* Deployment of IBM Spectrum Scale into a new VPC (end-to-end deployment) builds a new VPC with public and private subnets, and then deploys IBM Spectrum Scale into that infrastructure. |
6 | | -* Deployment of IBM Spectrum Scale into an existing VPC provisions IBM Spectrum Scale into your existing infrastructure. |
| 4 | +This Quick Start automatically deploys a highly available IBM Spectrum Scale cluster on the AWS Cloud, into a configuration of your choice. |

|
8 | | -### Template Changes |
9 | | -* Added Master template (Create VPC and Bastion Enviornment) |
10 | | - * Creates VPC using QuickStart Scaleable VPC template https://github.com/aws-quickstart/quickstart-aws-vpc |
11 | | - * Creates Bastion host enviornment using QuickStart template as dependency https://github.com/aws-quickstart/quickstart-linux-bastion |
| 6 | +IBM Spectrum Scale is a flexible, software-defined storage solution that can be deployed as highly available, high-performance file storage. This Quick Start automates the deployment of IBM Spectrum Scale on AWS for users who require highly available access to a shared name space across multiple instances with good performance, without requiring an in-depth knowledge of IBM Spectrum Scale. |

|
13 | | -* Workload Template |
14 | | - * Added CloudWatch logs and alerts for Spectrum Scale server and compute nodes recovery. |
15 | | - * Added Spectrum Scale SNS Topic |
16 | | - |
17 | | -###Deployment steps: |
| 8 | +This Quick Start deploys IBM Spectrum Scale into a virtual private cloud (VPC) that spans two Availability Zones in your AWS account. The deployment and configuration tasks are automated by AWS CloudFormation templates that you can customize during launch. |
18 | 9 |
|
19 | | -* Sign up for an AWS account at http://aws.amazon.com, select a region, and create a key pair and one S3 bucket. |
20 | | -* In the AWS CloudFormation console, launch one of the following templates from the S3 URL to build a new stack: |
21 | | - - [ibm-spectrum-scale-master.template](https://s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-reference/ibm/spectrumscale/latest/templates/ibm-spectrum-scale-master.template) (to deploy and configure Spectrum Scale cluster into a new VPC) |
22 | | - - [ibm-spectrum-scale.template](https://s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-reference/ibm/spectrumscale/latest/templates/ibm-spectrum-scale-master.template) (to deploy and configure spectrum scale cluster into your existing VPC) |
| 10 | +The Quick Start offers two deployment options: |
