V5 of this template makes a significant and breaking change from v4.

This template depends on a pre-built AMI that includes all of the needed files, thus saving users from the many problems that could occur attempting to download packages and configuration scripts. This is also a hard requirement for registration in the AWS Marketplace.

Additionally, there is a new marketplace.yaml template which aims to simplify the startup experience and also run at a significantly reduced cost. While the main template is geared for high-performance and would cost around $1500 per month, the marketplace template defaults run for about $320 per month. AWS cost-saving measures such as Reserved Instances can reduce these costs further.

To try this out for yourself, see the updated instructions in the README or try the quickstart:

Edition Version Est Monthly cost Launch button
High Performance 5.0.2 $1500*

Launch Stack
Lowest Cost 5.0.2 $320*

Launch Stack

*NOTE: Estimated costs are just that, your mileage will vary. Use reserved instances to greatly reduce costs for long-running clusters.
