CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
-
Make sure your PC has network access to all of the VAST Cluster compute servers (CNodes).
-
Browse to: https://<VMS_VIP>/, where <VMS_VIP> is the management VIP that you provided during installation. This is the IP used to connect to the VAST Cluster management server (VMS). The VAST Web UI opens.
-
If this is your first time connecting to the VAST Web UI, click I agree to accept the VAST Data End User License Agreement.
-
Enter your Username and Password to log in. For first time login, use the factory default VMS user account credentials: username: admin password: 123456. (i) VAST Cluster has one factory default VMS user account. You cannot delete the factory default VMS user account or reduce its permissions. After first time login, you can change the password for the default VMS user, create additional VMS users, and/or configure role based access with LDAP groups. For all options, see Authorizing VMS Access and Permissions. For subsequent login, enter a valid user name and password. This may be:
- A user name and password belonging to a user group on your organization's authentication provider (requires mapping the group to a VMS role), or
- The user name and password of a VMS user account.
- Click Login. You're now logged into the VAST Web UI and you're viewing the Dashboard.

Innovative, High-Performance Data Platform That Scales Simply
Reviewed on Sep 01, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about VAST Data is its innovative approach to managing and processing data at scale. I especially appreciate how it brings together high performance, scalability, and simplicity, which makes it easier for organizations to take on large, complex data workloads without adding unnecessary complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about VAST Data comes down mostly to cost and complexity. It can be expensive to get started, and in smaller environments it can feel like overkill for what you actually need. The initial setup may also demand a lot of technical expertise, and some workloads might not benefit enough from VAST’s architecture to truly justify the investment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VAST Data is helping us address the challenges of managing large volumes of data while also making that data easy to access for our workloads. It provides a scalable, high-performance platform that streamlines data management and supports better overall performance. For me, the biggest benefit is having a more efficient, reliable way to manage our data without needing to juggle as many separate storage systems.

VAST Data’s All-Flash DASE Architecture Delivers Scalable, High-Throughput AI Storage
Reviewed on Aug 22, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
VAST Data replaces complex multi-tier storage with an all-flash Disaggregated Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture, delivering archive-level pricing using QLC flash and global deduplication. Its stateless compute-to-storage design scales linearly and maximizes throughput to keep modern AI and GPU workloads fully saturated.
What do you dislike about the product?
VAST Data comes with a high entry cost and a sizable hardware footprint, which makes it impractical for smaller, sub-petabyte environments. It also depends on an ultra-low-latency RDMA network fabric to prevent bottlenecks. In addition, it feels less well suited to heavy, random transactional write workloads, especially when compared with read-heavy AI pipelines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VAST Data addresses storage tiering and GPU I/O starvation by bringing files, structured tables, and vector embeddings together on a single all-flash platform. By unifying these data types in one place, it reduces the need for complex ETL pipelines, helps maximize AI model training and retrieval speeds, and aims to deliver petabyte-scale flash performance with spinning-disk economics.
