Installing a cluster on AWS

In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses the default configuration options.

Prerequisites

• You reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.

• You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.

• You configured an AWS account to host the cluster.

  Important

  If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-term credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program.

• If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
