AWS deployment summary

The primary goal of this section of the Virtualization Guide is to provide clear guidance for deploying AVEVA System Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It details the necessary AWS infrastructure, security configurations, and operational best practices to ensure a robust, scalable, and highly available deployment. The guide covers required steps in the initial setup, such as creating VPCs, subnets, and EC2 instances, to advanced topics like security hardening, backup strategies, and system monitoring.

The intended audience for this document includes IT professionals and system administrators responsible for deploying and managing industrial automation solutions in the cloud. It assumes readers have a basic understanding of AWS services and access to an AWS account with sufficient permissions.

Keep the following points in mind to help ensure a secure, resilient, and efficient deployment of AVEVA System Platform on AWS:

• Redundancy and high availability are achieved by deploying resources across multiple AWS Availability Zones

• Security is paramount. Implement least-privilege access, encryption, and secrets management;

• Ongoing operations require proactive monitoring, regular backups, and license management.
