This document provides an overview of the FIWARE Lab cloud hosting service and FIWARE blueprint management. It describes how to create an account, deploy virtual machine instances, manage security groups, and launch blueprints which allow defining and deploying multi-tier application architectures on virtual servers. Blueprints can specify different software components and the servers they are deployed on, and are managed through a catalog interface that allows installing software, editing attributes, and deploying blueprint instances.
