Impala runs in your AWS account. This guide walks you through deploying the Impala data plane — from downloading the deployment package to your active platform.

​
Prerequisites

  • An Impala invitation from your Impala contact
  • Terraform installed (use the latest version — terraform.io)
  • AWS credentials configured on the machine you’ll run the deployment from
Time to complete: ~30 minutes (a few minutes setup, then automated deployment)

​
Step 1 — Download the deployment package

  1. Log in to the Impala platform using the link in your invitation email
  2. You’ll land on the Infrastructure Setup page
  3. Click Download Assets — this downloads terraform-assets.zip
The Setup tab under Admin on the Impala platform, showing the Download Assets button and the deployment commands

​
Step 2 — Run the deployment script

Open a terminal and run:
The script deploys all infrastructure stacks in the correct order. This takes approximately 30 minutes.
During the deployment, a browser window will open automatically. Log in with your Impala credentials when prompted — this completes the infrastructure registration. Don’t close the terminal while this is running.

​
Step 3 — Wait for activation

Once the script finishes and you’ve logged in during the process, your infrastructure registers automatically. Go back to the Impala platform — it will update to confirm your environment is ready. No further action needed. If the page hasn’t updated after the script completes, use the “Registration didn’t work? Submit output manually” option on the setup page to send the deployment output to Impala’s team.

​
You’re in!

Once activation is confirmed, you’ll land on the Impala dashboard. You’ll see your run history, cost, and token usage here.
The Impala platform home page, showing total cost, total runs and total tokens alongside links to models, docs and the blog
From the sidebar you can:
  • Home — dashboard overview: cost, runs and token usage
  • Run — your batch runs and their status
  • Usage — cost and token usage over time
  • Models — the models available to you
  • Playground — test models directly from the UI
  • Admin — members, API keys, and this setup page
Your next step is running your first batch. See: Upload and run your first batch
