# Choose setup path

Pick your cloud and deployment model, then jump to the matching e6data setup guide.

Two choices decide which setup guide you follow: your **cloud** (AWS or Azure) and your **deployment model** (Serverless or In Your VPC). Use the flowchart to route to the right guide - there are no setup steps on this page.

```

## Go to your guide

| Cloud     | Serverless                                                              | In Your VPC                                                     |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AWS**   | [AWS Serverless](/query-engine/guides/deployment/aws-serverless.md)     | [AWS In-VPC](/query-engine/guides/deployment/aws-in-vpc.md)     |
| **Azure** | [Azure Serverless](/query-engine/guides/deployment/azure-serverless.md) | [Azure In-VPC](/query-engine/guides/deployment/azure-in-vpc.md) |

{% hint style="info" %}
**In Your VPC** setup is an infrastructure task - provisioning a Kubernetes cluster, networking, and IAM - and is usually handled by a platform or infrastructure team. If you're not doing the infrastructure setup yourself, skip ahead to [Run your first query](/query-engine/get-started/quickstart/run-first-query.md) once your workspace is ready.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://docs.e6data.com/query-engine/get-started/quickstart/choose-setup-path.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.
