### Defining Settings for AmazonEC2 Help Appliance

This example shows how to define settings for the AmazonEC2 helper appliance.

```
$account = Get-VBRAmazonAccount -Id "936edf7c-7cf3-4dbd-9895-c7485ef4bb2c"
$region = Get-VBRAmazonEC2Region -Account $account -RegionType Global -Name "ap-northeast-1"
$instance = Get-VBRAmazonEC2InstanceType -Region $region
$vpc = Get-VBRAmazonEC2VPC -Region $region
$sgroup = Get-VBRAmazonEC2SecurityGroup -VPC $vpc
$subnet = Get-VBRAmazonEC2Subnet -VPC $vpc -AvailabilityZone "eu-west-1a"
New-VBRAmazonEC2ProxyAppliance -InstanceType $instance -Subnet $subnet -SecurityGroup $sgroup -RedirectorPort 443
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonAccount`](get-vbramazonaccount.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$account` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonEC2Region`](get-vbramazonec2region.md) cmdlet. Set the `$account` variable as the `Account` parameter value. Set the `Global` value as the `RegionType` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$region` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonEC2InstanceType`](get-vbramazonec2instancetype.md) cmdlet. Set the `$region` variable as the `Region` parameter value. Save the result to the `$instance` variable.
4. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonEC2VPC`](get-vbramazonec2vpc.md) cmdlet. Set the `$region` variable as the `Region` parameter value. Save the result to the `$vpc` variable.
5. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonEC2SecurityGroup`](get-vbramazonec2securitygroup.md) cmdlet. Set the `$vpc` variable as the `VPC` parameter value. Save the result to the `$sgroup` variable.
6. Run the [`Get-VBRAmazonEC2Subnet`](get-vbramazonec2subnet.md) cmdlet. Set the `$vpc` variable as the `VPC` parameter value. Specify the `AvailabilityZone` parameter value. Save the result to the `$subnet` variable.
7. Run the `New-VBRAmazonEC2ProxyAppliance` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$instance` variable as the `InstanceType` parameter value.
   - Set the `$subnet` variable as the `Subnet` parameter value.
   - Set the `$sgroup` variable as the `SecurityGroup` parameter value.
   - Specify the `RedirectorPort` parameter value.
