# Deploy Upsolver on AWS

Upsolver is offered as a self-hosted, fully managed solution deployed into an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) inside your AWS account.

**Deploying Upsolver in your AWS account allows you to:**

1. Ensure data never leaves your VPC.
2. Securely connect to your data sources and targets.
3. Create compute clusters of any size.
4. Select your preferred EC2 compute type.

When deploying Upsolver in your account, Upsolver walks you through several configuration steps asking for VPC and network information to create a custom [AWS CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) template for your specific environment. Once completed, Upsolver will execute the CloudFormation template in your account to deploy all of the required [components](/content/articles-1/get-started/core-concepts/core-components.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/how-to-guides-1/setup/deploy-upsolver-on-aws.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
