CCE Server Installation on AWS Cloud

This document describes the steps required to create a CCE server virtual machine on AWS cloud. We recommend that these steps are performed on a call with the guidance of ARIA Technical Support.

         2. Select ‘AWS Marketplace AMIs’, then use the search bar to search for ‘Rocky Linux 8 (Official)’. Select the first result and then choose ‘Subscribe now’ in the pop-up confirmation.
            
            
             
      3. Instance type: Select the dropdown and search for ‘c5.2xlarge’
         
          
      4. Key pair: Select and existing or create a new key pair. When creating a new key pair, give it a descriptive name. Be sure to save the generate key pair to a safe and memorable location.

         4. Firewall (security groups): Allow SSH traffic from a known-good source for configuration and management.  
      6. Configure storage: 256GB gp3 root volume.
         
          
      7. Confirm configuration and select ‘Launch instance’.
         
          
      8. Once complete, navigate to the instance by selecting the instance ID. In my case it is (i-03f602c603f6aa561).
         
          
      9. Select the checkbox to the left of the instance name and in the instance details, record the public IP for later use.
         
          
3.  Configure AWS Elastic IP Address.

   3. Select the check box of the newly created Elastic IP, then in the top right use the drop-down ‘Actions’ box to choose ‘Associate Elastic IP address’.
      
       
   4. Under ‘Instance’, choose the CCE server EC2 instance.
   5. Under ‘Private IP address’, choose the private IP address of the instance.  
   6. In the bottom right corner, select ‘Associate’.
