 [AWS Launch Wizard](deploy-using-aws-launch-wizard.md) is the recommended deployment method for this solution. It provides:
+ A guided configuration experience with detailed help panels at each step
+ A centralized page to monitor the health of all your deployments
+ Indication when there is a more recent version of the solution available for deployment or upgrade

Alternatively, you can deploy the solution directly using an [AWS CloudFormation template](deploy-using-aws-cloudformation.md).
