Create an Amazon EC2 Deployment Environment
You must map a deployment environment to an Amazon EC2 VPC and associated Availability Zone
before you can deploy an application to the cloud.
With a VPC, you can provision a logically isolated area of the AWS Cloud where you can deploy
applications from Application Services.
If a deployment environment is currently being used in a deployment profile or a current deployment, it
cannot be deleted.
Prerequisites

Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator.

Verify that the Amazon EC2 environment is configured to establish a secure connection with the
Application Services appliance. See Configure Amazon EC2 Environment for Application Services.

Amazon EC2 Cloud Provider and Template.

Verify that a secure cloud tunnel connection is available.
