# AWS Serverless

> Deploy e6data as a Serverless workspace on AWS - the end-to-end path from creating a workspace to running your first query.

A **Serverless** workspace runs e6data's compute in e6data's own cloud account, fully managed for you. Your data never leaves your AWS account - e6data reads it in place through a cross-account IAM role you grant. This is the fastest way to get started on AWS: there is no Kubernetes, no infrastructure to run, and no networking to stand up.

<Info>
  **Who this is for:** any e6data user with AWS Console access - no infrastructure or Kubernetes required. **Before you start:** permission to create a cross-account IAM role, plus access to the S3 buckets and Glue/Hive catalog you want to query (see [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/prerequisites)).
</Info>

This guide walks the full deployment in order.

## Before you start

Review the [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/prerequisites) - AWS Console access with permission to create IAM roles, and access to the S3 buckets and catalog service you want to query.

## Deployment steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the architecture">
    See [Architecture](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/architecture) - how Serverless on AWS fits together and where your data stays.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check prerequisites">
    See [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/prerequisites) - what you need before you begin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your workspace">
    Follow [Create and manage workspaces](/platform/workspaces/create-and-manage) - pick **Serverless**, **AWS**, and your region.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure AWS access">
    See [Configure AWS access](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/configure-aws-access) - create the cross-account IAM role and register it with e6data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect S3 and Glue">
    See [Connect S3 and Glue](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/connect-s3-and-glue) - create a catalog over your data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a cluster">
    See [Create a cluster](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/create-cluster) - provision the compute that runs queries.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first query">
    See [Run your first query](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/run-first-query) - confirm the deployment works.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For help along the way, see [FAQs](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/faqs) and [Troubleshooting](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless/troubleshooting).
