  1. In the Workload Security console, go to Support > Deployment Scripts. For more information about deployment scripts, see Use deployment scripts to add and protect computers.

  2. Set the Platform to Linux Agent Deployment and the Security Policy to Base Policy > Demo.

  3. Copy the deployment script to your clipboard.
    Deployment Scripts dialog box

  4. Navigate to your AWS console and go to Services > Compute > EC2.

  5. Select Instances from the side-menu. Click Launch Instance.
    EC2 interface with Instances selected

  10. Under the deployment script, paste the following command:
    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deep-security/demo-app/master/demo-app.sh | sudo bash
    This installs and configures Tomcat.

  11. It is not necessary to add storage or tags, so click through to the Configure Security Group page.

  12. Add an SSH rule and an HTTP rule and set the Source to My IP. This security group is the only thing blocking outside access to your instance until the agent is installed, which is why we highly recommend you only allow access from your IP address.

    Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair window
