Spilo combines Patroni with stups. Running Spilo therefore requires that you have an Amazon VPC with Stups installed. For more details, see the Stups Installation Guide
To be able to deploy and troubleshoot Spilo, you need the stups tooling installed locally:
$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade stups
If you need different installation methods, run into issues, or want more details on how to install the stups tooling locally, we refer you to the Stups User's Guide
You can test your setup by logging in using mai and then listing the already running instances using senza, example session:
$ mai login
Please enter password for encrypted keyring:
Authenticating against https://aws.example.com.. OK
Assuming role AWS Account 1234567890 (example-team): SomeRoleName.. OK
Writing temporary AWS credentials.. OK
$ senza list

Patroni requires a DCS. One of these could be etcd. You may already have etcd installed within your account.
To check if etcd is already deployed using the advised method:
