What AWS resources are necessary to test Hyku in the cloud?
...
A set of AWS CloudFormation templates are available which can be used to build a test Hyku application environment. These templates create many AWS resources, so there is cost involved in creating and running this stack. The table below includes the AWS resources which are likely to have the most impact on overall cost. Some of the resources not included here are those in Route53, SQS, Codepipeline, and SES, as their costs are likely to be minimal in a short-term testing environment. The total indicated is for running the stack for 1 month. If the resources are used for less than 1 month, the price will be proportionally lower. Such is the benefit of cloud computing.
Please NOTE: These estimates are intended to indicate the minimum cost for running a Hyku stack for testing purposes. This configuration is NOT recommended for production deployments.

How is the Product Beta Test related to the HykuDirect hosted service pilot?
The project team is available for questions throughout the test period. Check out the Communications and Support page for info about the various channels for contacting us, including the weekly virtual office hours. Since it is a Beta test, we expect to uncover bugs and holes in the documentation. The project team is looking forward to answer questions as they come up, but it is unlikely we will be able to address the issues immediately.

The Hyku Beta Test is an open opportunity for the community to deploy and try out the software as we get ready to release the first version of the application. The test will run through June 23, 2017.
