title: AWS installation
---
You can install authentik to run on AWS with a CloudFormation template.
### Prerequisites
- An AWS account.
- An [AWS Certificate Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager/) certificate. Take note of the ARN of the certificate.
### Installation
Log in to your AWS account and create a CloudFormation stack [with our template](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home#/stacks/create/review?stackName=authentik&templateURL=https://authentik-cloudformation-templates.s3.amazonaws.com/authentik.ecs.latest.yaml).
Under the **Certificate ARN** input, enter the previously created certificate ARN. You can also configure other settings if needed. You can follow the prompts to create the stack.
This stack will create the following resources:
- AWS SSM secrets for the PostgreSQL user and the authentik secret key
- A VPC for all other resources
- A RDS PostgreSQL Multi-AZ cluster
- An ECS cluster with two tasks:
- One for the authentik server
- One for the authentik worker
- An ALB (Application Load Balancer) pointing to the authentik server ECS task with the configured certificate
- An EFS filesystem mounted on both ECS tasks for file storage
The stack will output the endpoint of the ALB to which you can point your DNS records.
## Access authentik from AWS CloudFormation
To launch authentik, in your browser go to:
`http://<domain_you_configured>/if/flow/initial-setup/`
:::info Initial setup in browser
You will get a `Not Found` error if initial setup URL doesn't include the trailing forward slash `/`. Also verify that the authentik server, worker, and PostgreSQL database are running and healthy. Review additional tips in our [troubleshooting docs](../../troubleshooting/login.md#cant-access-initial-setup-flow-during-installation-steps).
:::
### Further customization
If you require further customization, we recommend you install authentik via [Docker Compose](./docker-compose.mdx) or [Kubernetes](./kubernetes.md).
