To start your own grid

1. Log into your AWS account

2. Go to Services > CloudFormation

3. Click CreateStack

4. Upload the CloudFormation template provided here (either json or yaml). Click Next.

5. Give your stack a name. Change value of ContainerCpu, ContainerMemory and SeleniumImageVersion as desired. If this is your first time with AWS, it is recommended to work with defaults. Click Next twice, and check the box to 'I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources.' Click Create.

Stack should be created in a few minutes. You should be able to access the Selenium Grid on ExternalUrl:4444 in the Outputs section of the created stack.
