# Launching Pentaho in AWS

You can launch a new Pentaho Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the AWS Marketplace. To use the Pentaho AMI, you must create a customized security group and select or create an SSH key pair during the launch configuration. You can then install your licenses to activate the software after you launch an instance of the AMI.
