Hi everyone!

I tried [deployment example](https://github.com/digital-asset/canton/tree/main/deployment/aws) from the GitHub Canton repo and faced a few problems.

First, if I run from this template source, as it is written in the instructions  
[https://canton-aws-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/canton.yaml](https://canton-aws-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/canton.yaml)

I got an error on the Postgres resource creation:

```haskell
Cannot find version 12.5 for postgres

```

I found out that this particular version was deprecated. After running this command

```haskell
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --engine postgres --output table 

```

I found the closest supported version is 12.7. So I changed the template accordingly and ran the updated stack. Now there are no errors but a lot of events are in CREATE\_IN\_PROGRESS status. And the whole stack is in CREATE\_IN\_PROGRESS status for several hours already. The “Outputs” tab is empty.  
I’m relatively new to AWS, what can be wrong here?  
From the “Resources” tab I see that these two resources are hanging

Thanks!

Hi Victor,  
The cloud deployment example you tried to followed is out-of-date. Please refer to the reply to your previous forum topic.

> Hi everyone! I’d like to try Canton on AWS. I want to start with [Canton AWS CloudFormation Deployment](https://github.com/digital-asset/canton/tree/main/deployment/aws) quick-start example from [github Canton repo](https://github.com/digital-asset/canton). My question is - does it extend the AWS free tier? So if I experiment with it on my personal account do I risk being charged? Thanks!
