10
11<p class="text-gray-600 leading-relaxed mb-4">Before using Kinetica in the AWS Marketplace, make sure you have the following prerequisites:</p>
12
13<ul class="list-disc pl-6 mb-4 space-y-2 text-gray-600">
14  <li><strong>AWS Account</strong></li>
15  <li><strong>AWS Service Quota</strong><br>You will need quota in your target AWS region for resources including VPCs, Elastic IPs and specific hosts (t3, r5, g3) depending on your Kinetica cluster configuration. For details on the required resources, see the <a href="https://docs.kinetica.com/7.1/aws/provision/installation/#aws-service-quota">documentation</a>.</li>
16  <li><strong>AWS Permissions</strong><br>You will need permissions to buy and use AWS Marketplace applications and provision the required AWS resources. The Kinetica Cloud Formation Template will create a VPC, EKS cluster, IAM roles, Lambda functions, and Step Functions during provisioning. It is recommended that you have Administrator Access to be able to provision Kinetica.</li>

73  <li>GPU Acceleration. Choosing this option will deploy GPUs to improve your database performance. Consider enabling GPU Acceleration if you have use cases requiring interactive visualization of large scale geographic data or high-cardinality joins.</li>
74  <li>VPC CIDR: If you intend to peer this new VPC with an existing AWS VPC, you can choose a different CIDR range that doesn't overlap with the other network. Otherwise, you can just keep the default value.</li>
