Magento is an open-source content management system for e-commerce websites. The Quick Start automatically deploys and configures Magento Open Source (formerly Community Edition) 2.1.x in a highly available architecture on the AWS Cloud, using AWS services such as Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), Amazon ElastiCache, and Amazon RDS. This automated deployment builds a cluster that runs Magento along with optional sample data.
The AWS CloudFormation templates included in the Quick Start support two customizable deployment options: end-to-end deployment into a new virtual private cloud (VPC), and deployment into your existing AWS infrastructure. Deployment takes approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on whether you choose to include sample data. You can also use the templates as a starting point for your own implementation, by downloading them from the GitHub repository.
