Those coming from a standard AWS account will note that the steps and the console thus far are very familiar. However, you will see one key difference here; there is no AWS Marketplace accessible from within GovCloud. Instead, select Community AMIs. Type 'SoftNAS' in the search field to bring up the available public images.
Launch your AMI by clicking 'Select' on the desired AMI.
Alternatively, you can access your SoftNAS AMI by going to Instances, and selecting AMIs. Change the view to Public Images in the AMI Panel, then type in softnas to search the list.
Select the SoftNAS AMI you wish to deploy. Click Launch.
