title: Launching PredictionIO on AWS
Deploying PredictionIO on Amazon Web Services is extremely easy thanks to AWS Marketplace. As long as you have access to AWS, you can launch a ready-to-use PredictionIO Amazon EC2 instance with a single click.
Prerequisites
- Amazon Web Services account
- Amazon EC2
Access AWS Marketplace
Visit PredictionIO product's page on AWS Marketplace and sign in with your AWS account.
Using 1-Click Launch
You should see the following screen after you have logged in.
Under the big yellow “Continue” botton, select the region where you want to launch the PredictionIO EC2 instance, then click “Continue”.
Review your instance's settings before launching. For quick prototyping work, we recommend using at least the “Standard Medium (m1.medium)” instance type. For larger loads, use “Standard Large (m1.large)” or “Standard XL (m1.xlarge)”.
Setting Security Group
The default security group, marked by “AutogenByAWSMP”, has the following ports opened to public:
- 22 (SSH)
- 7070 (PredictionIO Event Server)
- 8000 (PredictionIO Server)
- 8080 (Spark Master)
- 9200 (Elasticsearch)
Start Using PredictionIO
It may take a few minutes after the EC2 instance has launched for all PredictionIO components to become ready. When they are ready, you may connect to your instance, see AWS documentation for more details.
Once you connect to your instance, you can find PredictionIO at /opt/PredictionIO and the binary command path is /opt/PredictionIO/bin.
NOTE: The following link will bring you to the recommendation engine quick start. Remember, the AWS instance will have everything automatically started for you, so you could safely skip the Install and Run PredictionIO section.
