Click the Select button next to Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-f4cc1de2. NOTE: Please use the latest Ubuntu AMI. It is likely that the AMI listed here will be out of date.

Choose an Instance Type, the selection depends on your budget and the size of the Partek Flow deployment. We recommend m4.large for testing or cluster front-end operation, m4.xlarge for standard deployments, and m4.2xlarge for alignment-heavy workloads with a large user-base. See the section AWS instance type resources and costs for assistance with choosing the right instance. In most cases, the instance type and associated resources can be changed after deployment, so one is not locked into the choices made for this step. 

NOTE: New instance types will become available. Please use the latest mX instance type provided as it will likely perform better and be more cost effective than older instance types. 

On the Configure Instance Details page, make the following selections:
