 # AWS Marketplace
 
-We have created an app for the AWS Marketplace to make deployment of OpenRemote easier. This guide describes how to configure the instance using the special AWS CloudFormation template.
+This guide explains how to provision/configure OpenRemote via the AWS Marketplace.
+The `CloudFormation` template can be found at [cloudformation-aws-marketplace.yml](https://github.com/openremote/openremote/blob/master/.ci_cd/aws/cloudformation-aws-marketplace.yml).
+
+This product requires an internet connection to deploy properly. The following packages are downloaded on deployment:
+* `Docker`
+* `Docker Compose`

-1. Search for OpenRemote on the [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?searchTerms=openremote) and click on the listing.
-2. Click on the orange button 'View purchase options'.
-3. Accept the EULA by pressing the 'Accept Terms' button
-4. You're now subscribed to the free OpenRemote Marketplace app. It will take a couple of minutes to process your subscription. After that, the 'Continue to Configuration' button becomes available.
-5. When the subscription is fully processed, click on the 'Continue to Configuration' button.
-6. Select a software version (By default, the latest version is already selected) and choose in which AWS region you want to deploy the software.
-7. After selecting the options, press the 'Continue to Launch' button
-8. Review your choices and press the 'Launch' button. You will now be redirected to the AWS CloudFormation page.
-9. Then the AWS CloudFormation page is displayed, press the 'Next' button.
-
-## Instance Configuration
-Now we're successfully subscribed to the OpenRemote marketplace app, we can start configuring it. In the section below, you will find a detailed description of each AWS CloudFormation parameter that's available in the template.
-
-#### `Name`
-This can be anything and is used for recognizing the CloudFormation Stack. The Stack name must be 1 to 128 characters, start with a letter, and only contain alphanumeric characters.
-
-#### `InstanceName`
-This name is used for recognizing the (OpenRemote) EC2 instance on the overview page.
+## Subscribe to the AWS Marketplace
+To use OpenRemote through the AWS Marketplace, you need an active subscription. Follow the steps below to subscribe.
 
-#### `InstanceType`
-You can choose an instance based on your monthly budget. There are three options available:
-- `t4g.small` - `2 vCPU` / `2 GB RAM` - around $10 dollars per month AWS running costs
-- `t4g.medium` - `2 vCPU` / `4 GB RAM` - around $25 dollars per month AWS running costs
-- `t4g.large` - `2 vCPU` / `8 GB RAM` - around $50 dollars per month AWS running costs
+- Search for OpenRemote on the [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?searchTerms=openremote) and click on the listing.
+- Click the `View purchase options` button.
+- Accept the EULA by selecting `Accept Terms`.
+- You are now subscribed on OpenRemote via the AWS Marketplace. Processing the subscription will take a few minutes. Once completed, the `Continue to Configuration` button becomes available.
+- Click `Continue to Configuration` to start configuring OpenRemote.
+- Choose a template version (the latest version is selected by default) and select your preferred AWS `region` for deployment.
+- Click `Continue to Launch` after making your selections.
+- Review your selections and click `Launch` to proceed. You will be redirected to the AWS `CloudFormation` page.
+- On the AWS `CloudFormation` page, click `Next` to continue.
 
-#### `Hostname`
-You can fill in the `FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)` that you want to use for this OpenRemote instance. 
-If no value is submitted, you can access the software via the public `IPv4 address` from the EC2 instance.
-
-> :::note
-> The software is not using `Amazon Route53` for DNS management. This means that – when you want to
-> use a custom hostname,  you must add an A-record pointing to the `IPv4` address of the EC2 instance. 
-
-> :::tip
-> Leave the `hostname` field blank for initial deployment. Once deployed and you have updated your DNS with 
-> an A-Record pointing to the Static IP, update the CloudFormation stack via the AWS console and add the hostname. 
-> Then run the **Clear Proxy Configuration** script as described below so that the proxy container will generate 
-> a new [Lets Encrypt SSL certificate](https://letsencrypt.org/). If the hostname entered is not pointing to the 
-> Static IP when the proxy container is started, a will fail certificate retrieval, and you will be unable 
-> to access the site via the domain name. 
-
-#### `Keypair`
-Choose a `keypair` for SSH Access. The `keypair` must exist in the same AWS region where you want to deploy the software. 
-Information on how to create a new `keypair` can be found [here](https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=REGION#KeyPairs:).
+## Instance Configuration
+After subscribing on OpenRemote via the AWS Marketplace, you can start configuring it. Below, you will find a detailed description of each parameter available in the template.
 
-> :::tip
-> Create a keypair first and save it somewhere safe and secure. You will need this to SSH into the EC2 instance associated with this deployment.
+* `Stack name` - You need to specify an unique `CloudFormation` stack name for this deployment. 
+  The `stack name` must contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-) and start with a letter. Max 128 characters.
 
-#### `SSHLocation`
-For security reasons, SSH is blocked by default on all IP addresses. In this field, you can fill in an `IPv4 address` on which you want to enable SSH access.
+* `Hostname` - You can specify the fully qualified domain name (`FQDN`) you want to use for this OpenRemote instance.  
+   If no value is provided, you can access OpenRemote using the public `IPv4` address of the `EC2` instance.
 
-Please make sure you are using the following notation:
-`0.0.0.0/32` allow one specific IP address access, or `0.0.0.0/0` allows all IP address access.
+* `Instance Type` - You can choose from the following `t4g` and `m6g` instance types:
+  - `t4g.small`
+     - vCPU: 2 
+     - Memory: 2GB
+  - `t4g.medium` 
+     - vCPU: 2 
+     - Memory: 4GB
+  - `t4g.large` 
+     - vCPU: 2 
+     - Memory: 8GB
+  - `m6g.large` 
+     - vCPU: 2 
+     - Memory: 8GB
+  - `m6g.xlarge` 
+     - vCPU: 4 
+     - Memory: 16GB
+  
+   Prices vary based on the selected instance. All instances are using the `ARM` architecture.
+   For detailed pricing information, visit the pricing pages for [t4g](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t4/) and [m6g](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m6g/).
 
-#### `CIDRBlock`
-The default (web) ports `80` and `443` are blocked by default for security reasons.
-In this field, you can fill in an `IPv4` address on which you want to enable these ports.
+* `Amazon Machine Image` - This is the Amazon Machine Image (`AMI`) that is used by the `EC2` instance.
+  
+  :::danger
 
-Please make sure you are using CIDR notation:
-`x.x.x.x/32` allow one specific IP address access, or `0.0.0.0/0` allows all IP address access.
+  Do not modify this value, as it is provided by Amazon. Changing it may cause instance creation to fail.
+  
+  :::
 
-## OpenRemote Configuration
+* `Storage` - You can specify the amount of block storage to provision for this OpenRemote instance, with options of `8GB`, `16GB`, `32GB`, `48GB` and `64GB`.
+   It is possible to expand the volume after instance creation, but a reboot will be required.
 
-#### `Password`
-Create a password for your OpenRemote instance. This password is used for the administrator account.
-The password must meet the following conditions:
-- The minimum length is eight characters
-- Must have at least one special character
+* `Key pair` - Choose a `key pair` for this OpenRemote instance. With the selected `key pair` you can `SSH` into the machine.
+  You can only select a `key pair` that was created in the **same** region as where you want to deploy the OpenRemote instance.
 
-## E-mail Configuration
+   :::tip
+   
+   To create a new `key pair`, follow the steps provided [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/create-key-pairs.html).
 
-The email configuration is not mandatory. All fields can be left blank / default if email is not required. 
+   :::
 
-#### `SMTPHost`
-Provide the `SMTP` hostname that you want to use for sending e-mails.
+   :::danger
 
-#### `SMTPUser`
-Provide the `SMTP` username that you want to use for sending e-mails.
+   After creating the `key pair`, you receive a private key.
+   
+   Make sure to save this file on a secure location, as you will not be able to `SSH` into the machine without it.
+   If you accidentally lose your key, follow the steps provided [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/replacing-key-pair.html) to recover access to your instance.
 
-#### `SMTPPassword`
-Provide the `SMTP` password that corresponds to the hostname and user.
+   :::
 
-#### `SMTPPort`
-The system is using port `587 (TLS)` by default for sending e-mails. If you want to use something else, for example, `465 (SSL)`, You can change it here.
+* `Elastic IP` - You can choose whether to assign an `Elastic IP` to this OpenRemote instance. Enabling this option ensures that your `IPv4` address remains the same after `stopping` the instance. 
+   Additional charges may apply, visit the pricing page [here](https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/pricing/).
 
-#### `SMTPTLS`
-Select if you want to use TLS for sending e-mails. Choose between `true` or `false`.
