The python scripts will configure each instance with 300 GB of SSD hard drive. The `regions` field specifies the data centers to use. If you require more nodes than data centers, the python scripts will distribute the nodes as equally as possible amongst the data centers.

Note that, depending on the instance types, AWS instances may take up to several minutes to fully start or stop. The command `fab info` displays a nice summary of all available machines and information to manually connect to them (for debug). ### Step 5.
