I'm just starting out with AWS too, worth looking at this resource to get some insight into using templates, which i'm sure you'll get a kick out of! http://docs.aws.amazon.com/quickstart/latest/active-directory-ds/welcome.html
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded a template and made changes to the instance types, server names etc. but so far I haven't had the courage to deploy it :-)
Many thanks for the comment Mick.
