## This is archived content

Deployments on public clouds continue to be supported but the content for third-party public cloud deployments is no longer updated.

For the latest Tableau Server deployment content, see the [Deploy](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us/install.htm) section of Tableau Server help.

For those customers who have access, we recommend Tableau Cloud. For more details, see:

## Introduction

When you install Tableau Server on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) virtual machine (VM), you still have the advanced capabilities of Tableau Server in a local environment. Running Tableau Server on an AWS VM is an excellent choice if you want the flexibility of scaling up and scaling out without having to purchase and maintain an expensive fleet of servers. For instance, you can configure Tableau Server to be highly available, and integrate with all of the common enterprise applications (for example, Active Directory) that many organizations rely on.

Looking for Tableau Server on Windows? See [Install Tableau Server on Amazon Web Services](https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/ts_aws_welcome.htm "Opens topic in a new browser tab").

Tableau Server can take advantage of many native AWS services:

- [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch): Monitors the components of your AWS-based soluton.
- [Amazon Route53](https://aws.amazon.com/route53): DNS web service for connecting user requests to your AWS infrastructure.
- [AWS Certificate Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager): Helps you deploy SSL and TLS certificates for use with AWS.
- [AWS CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation): Helps you to create and manage related AWS resources in a controlled manner using pre-defined templates.
- [Elastic Load Balancing](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing): You can use Elastic Load Balancing to spread Tableau requests across multiple Tableau gateways.

In addition, you can store the data you use with Tableau Server using any of the following AWS features. Tableau provides native data [connectors](https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/help.htm#exampleconnections_overview.htm) that enable you to connect to data in the following AWS data sources:

- [Amazon Athena](https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/examples_amazonathena.htm): Interactive query service that you can use to analyze data in Amazon S3 using SQL.
- [Amazon Aurora for MySQL](https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/examples_amazonaurora.htm): High-performance MySQL-compatible database.
- [Amazon EMR Hadoop Hive](https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/examples_amazonemr.htm): Managed Hadoop framework for processing large amounts of data.
