# Deploy with Cloudformation

To run on AWS, deployment is simplified by using one of our CloudFormation templates.

There are separate templates available for AWS Marketplace deployment and for deployment with Licensed images. Each template gives the user the option of using existing VPC and Subnets or creating new ones. This is also the case for the S3 bucket that the Transformers and Graph Writer use. The templates also include a single container instance of Bitnami Kafka to orchestrate messaging between the Transformers and Graph Writer, so graph data created from executed transformations is automatically written to Neptune.

The containers included to run in the CloudFormation template are: 

* Studio Node
* Studio UI
* Semi Structured Transformer x1
* SQL Transformer x1
* Graph Writer x1
* Bitnami Kafka

Full Stack Template for Marketplace usage: <https://graphbuild-cf-templates.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/marketplace-latest/marketplace-rootstack.yaml>

There are also a range of templates with different configurations of the platforms components available here (e.g. Studio only, Studio with SQL Transformer,  Studio with Semi-Structured Transformer etc.)

Full Stack Template for bring your own License usage: <https://graphbuild-cf-templates.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/licensed-latest/rootstack.yaml>
