Prolog information
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 following FQDNs in the AWS Route 53 service or the DNS service that you use:
    • Avaya Aura® Device Services front-end FQDN.
    • Avaya Aura® Device Services Utility Server FQDN.
  • On all Avaya Aura® Device Services nodes in your deployment, add information about each Avaya Aura® Device Services node to the /etc/hosts file in the following format:
    <IP_Address> <Corresponding_FQDN> <hostname>
    For example:
    195.51.100.5 aads1.mycompany.com aads1
    195.51.100.6 aads2.mycompany.com aads2
  • 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.
