Couchbase Server can be installed in various environments, including home-grown servers and hosted services like AWS and Microsoft Azure. AWS, in particular, is a popular choice due to its ease of deployment with features like AMIs and CloudFormation, ranking it among the top 10 most deployed services on Amazon. To quickly deploy Couchbase Server on AWS, users need an AWS account and can find Couchbase in the Amazon Marketplace. After selecting the appropriate EC2 instance size based on memory, CPU, or disk requirements, users can initiate the deployment with a single click, which takes a few minutes. Following deployment, users navigate to the public DNS, access the administrative dashboard, and complete a brief configuration wizard to finalize the setup, making Couchbase ready for development and use in a short time.
