Prerequisites for installing the system layer on AWS

Last Updated : Dec 27, 2021 |

In addition to the prerequisites for the software-only system layer installation that are common for all deployment types, AWS has the following specific prerequisites:

  • Ensure that you configured the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway front-end FQDN in the AWS Route 53 service or the DNS service that you use.

  • On all Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes in your deployment, add information about each Avaya Aura® Web Gateway node to the /etc/hosts file in the following format:

    <IP_Address> <Corresponding_FQDN> <hostname>

    For example:

    195.51.100.5 aawg1.mycompany.com aawg1
195.51.100.6 aawg2.mycompany.com aawg2

  • Enable root access to RHEL. For more information, see Enabling root access.

  • Create a non-root user on RHEL. For more information, see Creating an administrative user.

  • If you are using a Red Hat subscription for RHEL package management, you must configure a public IP address on each of your AWS instances using the AWS Elastic IP service. For more information about setting up public IP addresses, see Elastic IP addresses.
