We have provided a one-click deployment that will install most features of the AWS Orbit Workbench in a trial environment in your AWS account. If you are just evaluating the workbench, we suggest you use this deployment.

You can always use the CLI to redeploy to add / remove teams or plugins to an existing workbench.

Pre-deploy

You should have the AWS CLI installed on your system to run our deployment script (after the initial one-click deployment).

• For more info, visit https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/welcome-versions.html

Deploy

Please see our AWS Orbit Workbench Github repository. The landing page has the one-click deployment for your particular region.

It will take about 1.5-2h to fully deploy the demo. Continue below after the pipeline completes successfully.
