# Introduction
|

|

The Launch Instances module (`aws_launch_instances`) can be used to launch a
|
||||
Cloud host with a public IP address. Although hosts can be launched using the
|
||||
Web console or the CLI, launching a host in the Cloud requires a fair
|
||||
amount of configuration; this module does its best to abstract configuration
|

requirements away from the user by auto detecting the VPC, subnets, creating

security groups, etc.

## How it Works

The module performs several tasks to launch a host with a public IP address,

these are as follow: 1) select a VPC, 2) select a subnet, 3) create/select a

security group, 4) create/select a key-pair, and 5) launch a host.
