You must set up the following components before deploying AWS with Hedvig. All components must be accessible to the internal AWS subnets.
-
an Amazon VPC (virtual private cloud), which must have an IGW (internet gateway) or an outbound NAT (network address translation) gateway, a subnet, and an AWS-provided DNS (domain name system)
-
a PEM (privacy enhanced mail) key to launch instances
-
an IAM (identity and access management) instance profile with full access to Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3
-
M4 instances, depending on the particular setup:
-
m4.4xlarge instances, which are used for simple functional testing
-
m4.10xlarge instances, which are required for performance, deduplication, and production. This type of instance is created for PoC setups with 9x200 G and 3x90 G drives.
-
-
a security group with the port ranges shown in TCP/UDP Ports for Hedvig Storage Nodes and Proxies with Firewalls.
