QuickLaunch in AWS Marketplace

If the seller has enabled QuickLaunch on a fulfillment option, you can use it to create an Amazon EKS cluster and deploy a container application to it. With QuickLaunch, you will use AWS CloudFormation to configure and create an Amazon EKS cluster and launch a container application on it. With QuickLaunch, you can launch a container application for testing purposes. To use QuickLaunch, follow the steps in Launching with a Helm fulfillment option.

To create an Amazon EKS cluster that the application can be deployed on, create a CloudFormation stack. A stack is a collection of AWS resources that you can manage as a single unit. All the resources in a stack are defined by the stack's CloudFormation template. In QuickLaunch, the stack's resources include the information required to create the Amazon EKS cluster and launch the application. For more information about stacks in AWS CloudFormation, see Working with stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

After the cluster is created, QuickLaunch launches the application on it by installing the seller-provided Helm chart onto the cluster. QuickLaunch handles this for you as part of the stack creation that also creates the Amazon EKS cluster.
