Does anyone have additional resources on deploying JIRA Software to AWS?

[Deleted user]

I'm really confused with this document alone: https://aws-quickstart.s3.amazonaws.com/quickstart-atlassian-jira/doc/jira-software-data-center-on-the-aws-cloud.pdf

Should I be using JIRA Confluence instead?

"Jira Confluence" is not a thing.  Jira is software built for issue tracking, Confluence is another piece of software built as a wiki-form of document editor. 

I think you need to explain what you're trying to do, to put your question in a context wehere we can help you.

The doc you have is about installing Jira (Core - you can worry about Jira Software and Jira Service Desk later if you want) on AWS, and you've selected the "Data Center" version, which is the high-availability solution.  Is that really what you want to do?
