The Deployment sample illustrates the deployment of a set of application components through a workflow. A YAML configuration file is used to describe the application stack. The workflow takes this description as input and simulates the deployment of the components specified in it.

If you already have Ruby and RubyGems installed, you can install the framework by opening a terminal window and typing:
gem install aws-flow
