Make a copy of that file and call it whatever you like (e.g. `cp example_deploy_conf.py my_deploy_conf.py`). You can leave most of the settings at their default values, but you must change the value of `SSH_KEY_NAME` to the name of your private SSH key. You can do that with a text editor. Set `SSH_KEY_NAME` to the name you used for `<key-name>` when you generated an RSA key pair for SSH (in basic AWS setup).
You'll also want to change the `IMAGE_ID` to one that's up-to-date and available in your AWS region. If you don't remember your AWS region, then look in your `$HOME/.aws/config` file. You can find an up-to-date Ubuntu image ID for your region at [https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/](https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/). An example search string is "eu-central-1 16.04 LTS amd64 hvm:ebs-ssd". You should replace "eu-central-1" with your region name.
If you want your nodes to have a predictable set of pre-generated keypairs, then you should 1) set `USE_KEYPAIRS_FILE=True` in the AWS deployment configuration file, and 2) provide a `keypairs.py` file containing enough keypairs for all of your nodes. You can generate a `keypairs.py` file using the `write_keypairs_file.py` script. For example:
```text
