Configuring and launching Saas products using Quick Launch - AWS Marketplace

Configuring and launching Saas products using Quick Launch

Quick Launch is an AWS Marketplace deployment option that's available for SaaS products that have Quick Launch enabled. It reduces the time, resources, and steps required to configure, deploy, and launch your software. For products that offer this feature, you can either choose to use Quick Launch or manually configure your resources.

To find, subscribe, and launch a SaaS product using the Quick Launch experience

  1. Navigate to the AWS Marketplace search page.

  2. Browse AWS Marketplace, and find the product that contains the software that you want to launch. Products that provide the Quick Launch experience have a Quick Launch badge in their product description.

    Tip

    To find products with the Quick Launch experience enabled, use the SaaS and CloudFormation template filters in the Refine results pane.

  3. After you subscribe to the product, navigate to the Configure and launch page by choosing the Set Up Your Account button.

  4. On the Configure and launch page in Step 1: Make sure you have required AWS permissions, make sure that you have the permissions necessary to use the Quick Launch experience. Contact your AWS administrator to request the permissions.

    To use the full Quick Launch experience, you must have the following permissions:

    • CreateServiceLinkedRole – Allows AWS Marketplace to create the AWSServiceRoleForMarketplaceDeployment service-linked role. This service-linked role allows AWS Marketplace to manage deployment-related parameters, which are stored as secrets in AWS Secrets Manager, on your behalf.

    • DescribeSecrets – Allows AWS Marketplace to obtain information about deployment parameters passed by sellers.

    • GetRole – Allows AWS Marketplace to determine if the service-linked role has been created in the account.

    • ListSecrets – Allows AWS Marketplace to obtain the status of the deployment parameters.

    • ListRegions – Allows AWS Marketplace to obtain AWS Regions that are opted in for the current account.

    • ReplicateSecrets – Allows AWS Marketplace to start the replication of secrets to the selected Region where you will deploy the software.

  5. For Step 2: Log into an existing or new vendor account, choose the Log in or create an account button. The seller's site opens in a new tab, where you can either log in or create a new account. When you're done, return to the Configure and launch page.

  6. For Step 3: Configure your software and AWS integration, choose how you want to configure the product:

    • AWS CloudFormation – Choose the Launch template button to deploy a predefined CloudFormation template to configure your product. Use CloudFormation to review the template parameters and complete any additional required fields. When you're done, return to the Configure and launch page to launch your software.

    • Manual – Use the instructions provided by the seller to configure your software.

  7. For Step 4: Launch your software, choose the Launch software button to launch your software.
