A bonder can be run on any setup you are comfortable with. The preferred method is to run the bonder locally, but there is nothing stopping you from running it on a virtual private server (VPC) on the Cloud.
To see an example of an EC2 setup, check out the link below.
{% content-ref url="ec2-setup.md" %} ec2-setup.md {% endcontent-ref %}
When you make your choice, continue onto the next section to prepare for the installation of the bonder client.
