CloudFormation is an Amazon Web Services service used to create a stack. A stack is a graph of objects such as EC2 instances and EBS volumes inside the Amazon cloud.
Use this procedure to deploy a standalone instance by using a single-node CloudFormation template.
Before you begin
Use standard Amazon Web Services procedures to create the required network setup, including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings and Security Groups.
Generate a single-node CloudFormation template.
Ensure that you have network access to the Amazon VPC before deploying an AMI.
Sign in to the AWS console and navigate to Services Management & Governance CloudFormation.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
On the CloudFormation page, click Create Stack.
On the Create Stack page, click Select Template.
On the Select Template page, in the Choose a template area, click Upload a template to Amazon S3.
Click Browse, and choose the singlenode yaml CloudFormation template file that you generated.
Click Next.
On the Specify Details page, in the Stack name field, type the stack name.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The stack name is used to identify the stack within CloudFormation.
Note:
The stack name must start with a letter and must contain letters, numbers, and dashes.
In the Amazon Machine Image ID field, type the Amazon Machine Image ID (AMI ID) of the Breeze instance that you converted using AWS specific OVA.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Tip:
To obtain the AMI ID of an image, go to ServicesEC2ImagesAMIs .
Use the public/private key pair for initial login to the node. You can login to the node by using the ssh. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The node is created within an existing subnet inside a virtual private cloud.
In the Network area, select the required Virtual Private Cloud and Subnet.
The node accesses S3 using a VPC endpoint to avoid connecting to the Internet. If the VPC endpoint is not connected to the subnet, enter its subnet’s route table ID so that one can be created.
In the DNS area, do the following:
In Host name field, type the DNS host name.
In DNS Domain field, type the name of the private DNS domain to use.
In DNS domain field, type the name of the private DNS domain to use.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This domain name represents the domain name that clients use to access service.
If the domain is a new domain in this VPC, set Create domain to Y. Otherwise, set it to N.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For Avaya Breeze® platform Management Module FQDN, use <host>.<domain>. For Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module FQDN, use <managementhostname>-sm100.<domain>.
Note:
Multimedia messaging server address in Equinox client must be set to Avaya Breeze® platform Security Module FQDN.
Click Create.
STEP RESULT:
The system displays the Stacks page, which shows the stack creation status.
