Use the Edge Services portal to provision Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances. Before provisioning an AWS instance, an AWS cloud must be created. When you provision an AWS instance, you must select which AWS cloud to associate it with. After an AWS instance has been provisioned, you can stop and lock a server or edit the AWS instance details. If you no longer need an AWS instance, you can delete it.
