Use AWS for virtualization

This section provides step-by-step instructions for launching and configuring an example Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment suitable for deploying System Platform. The deployment utilizes multiple AWS resources across two Availability Zones (AZs) for redundancy and high availability (HA).

Note: Hybrid cloud scenarios that combine AWS with on-premises installations have not been tested.

Deployment Timing

AWS setup can be completed in one hour or less. This does not include the time to install and configure System Platform.

Supported Regions

All the resources needed for System Platform can be deployed in any region, so all regions available on AWS are supported.

Prerequisites

• An AWS account.

• AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users should have permission to allocate the resources required by the deployment.

• AWS Management Console access.

• Basic understanding of AWS services.
