With a few simple steps, you can deploy Mach5 on AWS, ingest sample or real data, and start running powerful queries, all without managing infrastructure manually. By the end of this guide, you'll be able to:

1. Launch Mach5 Search on your own AWS infrastructure.
2. Use pre-built dashboards and OpenSearch-compatible APIs.
3. Add and query sample datasets using Mach5 Dev Tools.
