+# Using the Default AWS Infrastructure
+
+This set of files provides an example on how to use the "default AWS infrastructure" (the VPC, subnets, and Internet gateway that are automatically created for you in a region when you start using AWS).
+
+This example uses [Go][link-1].
+
+## Contents
+
+* **main.go**: This Go file contains all the necessary Pulumi code to launch an EC2 instance on your default AWS infrastructure.
+
+* **README.md**: This file you're currently reading.
+
+## Instructions
+
+These instructions assume you've already installed and configured Pulumi and all necessary dependencies (Go, for this example). Please refer to the Pulumi documentation for more details on installation or configuration.
+
+1. Start a new Pulumi project, configured for AWS and Go (you can use `pulumi new` for this step if you prefer).
+
+2. Copy `main.go` from this directory into the directory for the new Pulumi project.
+
+3. Edit `main.go` as outlined below in the section "Providing Your Own Information".
+
+4. Once `main.go` has been appropriately customized for your specific environment, run `pulumi up` and follow the prompts.
+
+Enjoy!
+
+## Providing Your Own Information
+
+The `main.go` file provided in this folder **will not work** without providing your own information. This section outlines the changes that need to be made to the `main.go` file.
+
+1. On line 82, verify the AMI ID specified there (everything before `_VERIFY_ME`) is valid for the AWS region you will use. Change this as necessary to a valid AMI ID for your region.
+
+2. On line 83, verify the instance type (everything before `_VERIFY_ME`) is valid for your AWS region. Change as necessary.
+
+3. On line 85, replace `CHANGE_ME` with the name of a valid key pair.
+
+After making these changes, you should be able to run `pulumi up` without any issues.
