# Create an Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Fleet and Stack
<a name="set-up-stacks-fleets"></a>

To stream your applications, Amazon WorkSpaces Applications requires an environment that includes a fleet that is associated with a stack, as well as at least one application image. This tutorial describes the steps to set up a fleet and stack, and how to give users access to the stack. If you haven't already done so, we recommend that you try the procedures in [Get Started with Amazon WorkSpaces Applications: Set Up With Sample Applications](getting-started.md) first.

If you want to create an image to use, see [Tutorial: Create a Custom WorkSpaces Applications Image by Using the WorkSpaces Applications Console](tutorial-image-builder.md).

If you plan to join a fleet to an Active Directory domain, configure your Active Directory domain before completing the following steps. For more information, see [Using Active Directory with WorkSpaces Applications](active-directory.md).
