[1]: (1) EC2 KeyPair cannot be created automatically, so make sure you have an existing EC2 KeyPair in one region. Or create one yourself. (2) If you want to access doccano via HTTPS in AWS, here is an instruction. [2]: Although this is a very cheap option, it is only suitable for very small teams (up to 80 concurrent requests).
