+* [Manage the lifecycle of your instance](#lifecycle)
+
+## <a id="Introduction">Introduction</a>
+This installation option wraps the basic, low-level installation binaries described in the [NCService
+installation option](ncservice.html), and provides several simple scripts to deploy, start, stop,
+and erase an AsterixDB instance on a cluster without requiring users to interact with each individual
+node in the cluster.
+
+## <a id="Prerequisites">Prerequisites</a>
+  *  Supported operating systems: **Linux** and **MacOS**
+
+  *  Install pip on your client machine:
+
+          CentOS: sudo yum install python-pip
+          Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pip
+          MacOS:  brew install pip
+
+  *  Install Ansible, boto, and boto3 on your client machine:
+
+          pip install ansible
+          pip install boto
+          pip install boto3
+
+     Make sure that the version of Ansible is no less than 2.2.1.0.
+
+  *  Configure passwordless ssh from your current client that runs the scripts to all nodes listed in conf/inventory.
+
+  *  Download a released [simple server package](http://asterixdb.apache.org/download.html).
+
+     Alternatively, you can follow the [instruction](https://github.com/apache/asterixdb#build-from-source) to
+     build from source.
+
+  *  In the extracted directory from the `simple server package`, navigate to `opt/ansible/`
+
+         $cd opt/ansible
+
+     The following files and directories are in the directory `opt/ansible`:
+
+         README  bin  conf  yaml
+
+     `bin` contains scripts that deploy, start, stop and erase an AsterixDB cluster instance, according to
+     the configuration specified in files under `conf/`. `yaml` contains internal Ansible scripts that the shell
+     scripts in `bin` use.
+
+## <a id="config">Configuration and parameters</a>
+  *  **Parameters**. Edit the instance configuration file `conf/cc.conf` when necessary.
+     You can add/update whatever parameters in the **[common]** and **[nc]** sections (except IPs and ports).
+     For example:
+
+           [common]
+           log.level=INFO
+
+           [nc]
+           txn.log.dir=txnlog
+           iodevices=iodevice
+           command=asterixnc
+
+     More parameters and their usage can be found [here](ncservice.html#Parameters).
+     Note that with this installation option, all parameters in the **[cc]** section will use defaults and cannot be
+     changed.
+
+
+  *  **Nodes and account**. Edit the inventory file `conf/inventory` when necessary.
+     You mostly only need to sepecify the node DNS names (or IPs) for the cluster controller, i.e., the master node,
+     in the **[cc]** section, and node controllers, i.e., slave nodes, in the **[ncs]** section.
+     The following example configures a local "cluster" that only has one slave node (localhost) and use
+     localhost as the master node too.
+
+          [cc]
+          localhost
+
+          [ncs]
+          localhost
+
+     If the ssh user account for target machines is different from your current username, please uncomment
+     and edit the following two lines:
+
+           ;[all:vars]
+           ;ansible_ssh_user=<fill with your ssh account username>
+
+     If you want to specify advanced Ansible builtin variables, please refer to the following Ansible documentation:
+     http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_inventory.html.
+
+  *  **Remote working directories**. Edit `conf/instance_settings.yml` to change the instance binary directories
+     when necessary. By default, the binary directory will be under the home directory (as the value of
+     Ansible builtin variable ansible_env.HOME) of the ssh user account on each node.
+
+            # The parent directory for the working directory.
+            basedir: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
+
+            # The working directory.
+            binarydir: "{{ basedir }}/{{ product }}"
+
+
+## <a id="lifecycle">Manage the lifecycle of your instance</a>
+  *  Deploy the binary to all nodes:
+
+         bin/deploy.sh
+
+  *  Launch your cluster instance:
+
+         bin/start.sh
+
+     Now you can use the cluster instance.
+
+  * If you want to stop the cluster instance, run the following script:
+
+         bin/stop.sh
+
+  * If you want to remove the binary on all nodes, run the following script:
+
+         bin/erase.sh

+
+## <a id="Introduction">Introduction</a>
+   Note that you can always manually launch a number of Amazon Web Services EC2 instances and then run the
+   Ansible cluster installation scripts as described [here](ansible.html) separately to manage the
+   lifecycle of an AsterixDB instance on those EC2 instances.
+
+   However, via this installation option, we provide a combo solution for automating both AWS EC2
+   and AsterixDB, where you can run only one script to start/stop an AsterixDB instance on AWS.
+
+## <a id="Prerequisites">Prerequisites</a>
+  *  Supported operating systems for the client: **Linux** and **MacOS**
+
+  *  Supported operating systems for Amazon Web Services instances: **Linux**
+
+  *  Install pip on your client machine:
+
+            CentOS: sudo yum install python-pip
+            Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pip
+            MacOS:  brew install pip
+

+
+            pip install ansible

+            pip install boto3
+
+     Make sure that the version of Ansible is no less than 2.2.1.0.
+

+
+     Alternatively, you can follow the [instruction](https://github.com/apache/asterixdb#build-from-source) to
+     build from source.
+
+  *  In the extracted directory from the `simple server package`, navigate to `opt/aws/`
+
+            $cd opt/aws
+
+     The following files and directories are in the directory `opt/ansible`:
+
+            README  bin  conf  yaml
+
+     `bin` contains scripts that start and terminate an AWS-based cluster instance, according to the configuration
+     specified in files under `conf/`. `yaml` contains internal Ansible scripts that the shell scripts in `bin` use.
+
+  *  Create an AWS account and an IAM user.
+
+     Set up a security group that you'd like to use for your AWS cluster.
+     **The security group should at least allow all TCP connection from anywhere.**
+     Fill `group` in `conf/aws_settings.yml` by the name of the security group.
+
+  *  Retrieve your AWS EC2 key pair name and fill that for `keypair` `conf/aws_settings.yml`;
+
+     retrieve your AWS IAM `access key ID` and fill that for `access_key_id` in `conf/aws_settings.yml`;
+
+     retrieve your AWS IAM `secret access key` and fill that for `secret_access_key` in `conf/aws_settings.yml`.
+
+     Note that you can only read or download `access key ID` and `secret access key` once from your AWS console.
+     If you forget them, you have to create new keys again and delete the old ones.
+
+  *  Configure your ssh setting by editing `~/.ssh/config` and adding the following entry:
+
+            Host *.amazonaws.com
+                  IdentityFile <path_of_private_key>
+
+     Note that \<path_of_private_key\> should be replaced by the path to the file that stores the private key for the
+     key pair that you uploaded to AWS and used in `conf/aws_settings`. For example:
+
+            Host *.amazonaws.com
+                  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+
+### <a id="config">Configuration</a>
+  * **AWS settings**.  Edit conf/instance_settings.yml. The meaning of each parameter is listed as follows:
+
+            # The OS image id for ec2 instances.
+            image: ami-76fa4116
+
+            # The data center region for ec2 instances.
+            region: us-west-2
+
+            # The tag for each ec2 machine.
+            tag: scale_test
+
+            # The name of a security group that appears in your AWS console.
+            group: default
+
+            # The name of a key pair that appears in your AWS console.
+            keypair: <to be filled>
+
+            # The AWS access key id for your IAM user.
+            access_key_id: <to be filled>
+
+            # The AWS secrety key for your IAM user.
+            secret_access_key: <to be filled>
+
+            # The AWS instance type. A full list of available types are listed at:
+            # https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/
+            instance_type: t2.micro

+            # The number of ec2 instances that construct a cluster.
+            count: 3
+
+            # The user name.
+            user: ec2-user
+
+            # Whether to reuse one nc machine to host cc.
+            cc_on_nc: false
+
+      **As described in [prerequisites](#Prerequisites), the following parameters must be customized correctly:**
+
+            # The name of a security group that appears in your AWS console.
+            group: default
+
+            # The name of a key pair that appears in your AWS console.
+            keypair: <to be filled>
+
+            # The AWS access key id for your IAM user.
+            access_key_id: <to be filled>
+
+            # The AWS secrety key for your IAM user.
+            secret_access_key: <to be filled>
+
+  *  **Remote working directories**. Edit conf/instance_settings.yml to change the instance binary directories
+     when necessary. By default, the binary directory will be under the home directory (as the value of
+     Ansible builtin variable ansible_env.HOME) of the ssh user account on each node.
+
+            # The parent directory for the working directory.
+            basedir: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
+
+            # The working directory.
+            binarydir: "{{ basedir }}/{{ product }}"
+
+
+### <a id="lifecycle">Manage the lifecycle of your instance</a>
+  *  Start an AWS-based cluster:
+
+            bin/start.sh
+
+     Now you can use the cluster instance through the public IP or DNS name of the master node.
+
+  * If you want to stop the cluster instance, run the following script:
+
+            bin/stop.sh
+
+    Note that it will destroy everything in the cluster instance you installed and terminates all AWS nodes
+    for the cluster.

 AsterixDB is a BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a rich feature set that sets it apart from other Big Data platforms.  Its feature set makes it well-suited to modern needs such as web data warehousing and social data storage and analysis. AsterixDB has:
 
-- __Data model__</br>
+- __Data model__<br/>
 A semistructured NoSQL style data model (ADM) resulting from extending JSON with object database ideas
 
-- __Query languages__</br>
+- __Query languages__<br/>
 Two expressive and declarative query languages (SQL++ and AQL) that support a broad range of queries and analysis over semistructured data
 
-- __Scalability__</br>
+- __Scalability__<br/>
 A parallel runtime query execution engine, Apache Hyracks, that has been scale-tested on up to 1000+ cores and 500+ disks
 
-- __Native storage__</br>
+- __Native storage__<br/>
 Partitioned LSM-based data storage and indexing to support efficient ingestion and management of semistructured data
 
-- __External storage__</br>
+- __External storage__<br/>
 Support for query access to externally stored data (e.g., data in HDFS) as well as to data stored natively by AsterixDB
 
-- __Data types__</br>
+- __Data types__<br/>
 A rich set of primitive data types, including spatial and temporal data in addition to integer, floating point, and textual data
 
-- __Indexing__</br>
+- __Indexing__<br/>
 Secondary indexing options that include B+ trees, R trees, and inverted keyword (exact and fuzzy) index types
 
-- __Transactions__</br>
+- __Transactions__<br/>
 Basic transactional (concurrency and recovery) capabilities akin to those of a NoSQL store

+* [Manage the lifecycle of your instance](#lifecycle)
+
+## <a id="Introduction">Introduction</a>
+This installation option wraps the basic, low-level installation binaries described in the [NCService
+installation option](ncservice.html), and provides several wrapped [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/)-based
+scripts to deploy, start, stop, and erase an AsterixDB instance on a multi-node cluster without requiring
+users to interact with each individual node in the cluster.
+
+## <a id="Prerequisites">Prerequisites</a>
+  *  Supported operating systems: **Linux** and **MacOS**
+
+  *  Install pip on your client machine:
+
+          CentOS: sudo yum install python-pip
+          Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pip
+          MacOS:  brew install pip
+
+  *  Install Ansible, boto, and boto3 on your client machine:
+
+          pip install ansible
+          pip install boto
+          pip install boto3
+
+     **Make sure that the version of Ansible is no less than 2.2.1.0.**
+
+  *  Configure passwordless ssh from your current client that runs the scripts to all nodes listed in conf/inventory.
+
+  *  Download a released [simple server package](http://asterixdb.apache.org/download.html).
+
+     Alternatively, you can follow the [instruction](https://github.com/apache/asterixdb#build-from-source) to
+     build from source.
+
+  *  In the extracted directory from the `simple server package`, navigate to `opt/ansible/`
+
+         $cd opt/ansible
+
+     The following files and directories are in the directory `opt/ansible`:
+
+         README  bin  conf  yaml
+
+     `bin` contains scripts that deploy, start, stop and erase a multi-node AsterixDB instance, according to
+     the configuration specified in files under `conf/`. `yaml` contains internal Ansible scripts that the shell
+     scripts in `bin` use.
+
+## <a id="config">Configuration and parameters</a>
+  *  **Parameters**. Edit the instance configuration file `conf/cc.conf` when necessary.
+     You can add/update whatever parameters in the **[common]** and **[nc]** sections (except IPs and ports).
+     For example:
+
+           [common]
+           log.level=INFO
+
+           [nc]
+           txn.log.dir=txnlog
+           iodevices=iodevice
+           command=asterixnc
+
+     More parameters and their usage can be found [here](ncservice.html#Parameters).
+     Note that with this installation option, all parameters in the **[cc]** and **[ncservice]**
+     section will use defaults and cannot be changed.
+
+
+  *  **Nodes and account**. Edit the inventory file `conf/inventory` when necessary.
+     You mostly only need to sepecify the node DNS names (or IPs) for the cluster controller, i.e., the master node,
+     in the **[cc]** section, and node controllers, i.e., slave nodes, in the **[ncs]** section.
+     The following example configures a cluster with two slave nodes (172.0.1.11 and 172.0.1.12) and
+     one master node (172.0.1.10).
+
+          [cc]
+          172.0.1.10
+
+          [ncs]
+          172.0.1.11
+          172.0.1.12
+
+     If the ssh user account for target machines is different from your current username, please uncomment
+     and edit the following two lines:
+
+           ;[all:vars]
+           ;ansible_ssh_user=<fill with your ssh account username>
+
+     If you want to specify advanced Ansible builtin variables, please refer to the
+     [Ansible documentation](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_inventory.html).
+
+  *  **Remote working directories**. Edit `conf/instance_settings.yml` to change the instance binary directories
+     when necessary. By default, the binary directory will be under the home directory (as the value of
+     Ansible builtin variable ansible_env.HOME) of the ssh user account on each node.
+
+            # The parent directory for the working directory.
+            basedir: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}"
+
+            # The working directory.
+            binarydir: "{{ basedir }}/{{ product }}"
+
+
+## <a id="lifecycle">Manage the lifecycle of your instance</a>
+  *  Deploy the AsterixDB binary to all nodes:
+
+         bin/deploy.sh
+
+  *  Launch your cluster instance:
+
+         bin/start.sh
+
+     Now you can use the multi-node AsterixDB instance.
+
+  * If you want to stop the the multi-node AsterixDB instance, run the following script:
+
+         bin/stop.sh
+
+  * If you want to remove the AsterixDB binary on all nodes, run the following script:
+
+         bin/erase.sh

+   Note that you can always manually launch a number of Amazon Web Services EC2 instances and then run the
+   Ansible cluster installation scripts as described [here](ansible.html) separately to manage the
+   lifecycle of an AsterixDB instance on those EC2 instances.
+
+   However, via this installation option, we provide a combo solution for automating both AWS EC2
+   and AsterixDB, where you can run only one script to start/stop an AsterixDB instance on AWS.
+
+## <a id="Prerequisites">Prerequisites</a>
+  *  Supported operating systems for the client: **Linux** and **MacOS**
+
+  *  Supported operating systems for Amazon Web Services instances: **Linux**
+
+  *  Install pip on your client machine:
+
+            CentOS: sudo yum install python-pip
+            Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pip
+            MacOS:  brew install pip
+
+  *  Install Ansible, boto, and boto3 on your client machine:
+
+            pip install ansible
+            pip install boto
+            pip install boto3
+
+     **Make sure that the version of Ansible is no less than 2.2.1.0.**
+
+  *  Download a released [simple server package](http://asterixdb.apache.org/download.html).
+
+     Alternatively, you can follow the [instruction](https://github.com/apache/asterixdb#build-from-source) to
+     build from source.
+
+  *  In the extracted directory from the `simple server package`, navigate to `opt/aws/`
+
+            $cd opt/aws
+
+     The following files and directories are in the directory `opt/aws`:
+
+            README  bin  conf  yaml
+
+     `bin` contains scripts that start and terminate an AWS-based cluster instance, according to the configuration
+     specified in files under `conf/`. `yaml` contains internal Ansible scripts that the shell scripts in `bin` use.
+
+  *  Create an AWS account and an IAM user.
+
+     Set up a security group that you'd like to use for your AWS cluster.
+     **The security group should at least allow all TCP connection from anywhere.**
+     Fill `group` in `conf/aws_settings.yml` by the name of the security group.
+
+  *  Retrieve your AWS EC2 key pair name and fill that for `keypair` `conf/aws_settings.yml`;
+
+     retrieve your AWS IAM `access key ID` and fill that for `access_key_id` in `conf/aws_settings.yml`;
+
+     retrieve your AWS IAM `secret access key` and fill that for `secret_access_key` in `conf/aws_settings.yml`.
+
+     Note that you can only read or download `access key ID` and `secret access key` once from your AWS console.
+     If you forget them, you have to create new keys again and delete the old ones.
+
+  *  Configure your ssh setting by editing `~/.ssh/config` and adding the following entry:
+
+            Host *.amazonaws.com
+                  IdentityFile <path_of_private_key>
+
+     Note that \<path_of_private_key\> should be replaced by the path to the file that stores the private key for the
+     key pair that you uploaded to AWS and used in `conf/aws_settings`. For example:
+
+            Host *.amazonaws.com
+                  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+
+### <a id="config">Configuration</a>
+  * **AWS settings**.  Edit conf/instance_settings.yml. The meaning of each parameter is listed as follows:
+
+            # The OS image id for ec2 instances.
+            image: ami-76fa4116
+
+            # The data center region for ec2 instances.
+            region: us-west-2
+
+            # The tag for each ec2 machine.
+            tag: scale_test

+AsterixDB is a BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a rich feature set that sets it apart from other Big Data
+platforms. Its feature set makes it well-suited to modern needs such as web data warehousing and social data
+storage and analysis. AsterixDB has:
 
- * A semistructured NoSQL style data model (ADM) resulting from extending JSON
-   with object database ideas
- * Two expressive and declarative query languages (SQL++ and AQL) that support a broad
-   range of queries and analysis over semistructured data
- * A parallel runtime query execution engine, Apache Hyracks, that has been
-   scale-tested on up to 1000+ cores and 500+ disks
- * Partitioned LSM-based data storage and indexing to support efficient
-   ingestion and management of semistructured data
- * Support for query access to externally stored data (e.g., data in HDFS) as
-   well as to data stored natively by AsterixDB
- * A rich set of primitive data types, including spatial and temporal data in
-   addition to integer, floating point, and textual data
- * Secondary indexing options that include B+ trees, R trees, and inverted
-   keyword (exact and fuzzy) index types
- * Support for fuzzy and spatial queries as well as for more traditional
-   parametric queries
- * Basic transactional (concurrency and recovery) capabilities akin to those of
-   a NoSQL store
