## Getting started on AWS
### Prerequisites
1. You need an AWS account. Visit [http://aws.amazon.com](http://aws.amazon.com) to get started
2. Install and configure [AWS Command Line Interface](http://aws.amazon.com/cli)
### Cluster turnup
#### Option 1: Install a binary release
1. Download the [binary release](getting-started-guides/binary_release.md)
2. Unpack the archive and ```cd kubernetes```
#### Option 2: Install from source
1. ```git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes.git```
2. ```cd kubernetes; make release```
#### Turn up the cluster
```
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws
cluster/kube-up.sh
```
The script above relies on AWS S3 to deploy the software to instances running in EC2.
### Running examples
Take a look at [next steps](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes#where-to-go-next)
### Tearing down the cluster

cd kubernetes
