Step 7: Start an instance

After you've provisioned an instance, you are ready to test the instance. At this point, there are no instances running.

To take your instances online, adjust the Min, Max, and Desired capacity values for the Auto Scaling group to a number that makes sense for your application. Initially, you may want to set these values to 1, to bring a single instance online, and verify the instance performs all expected actions including running your custom Chef recipes.
