Welcome to Infrastructure Optimizer! 🎉 👏

...

Info

The pre-check commands will require the IAM principal to have at least the ec2:Describe* permissions

Network

...

By default, Infrastructure Optimizer schedules workload workers to run in private subnets to protect them from direct external accesses.

Use the following command commands to ensure that the AWS VPC where Infrastructure Optimizer will run has at least one private subnets subnet with public NAT Gateways.

Check private subnets that are suitable for running the Infrastructure Optimizer workload Workers:

bash
Code Block
language
aws ec2 describe-subnets --filter Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc_id> --query 'Subnets[?MapPublicIpOnLaunch==`false`].SubnetId'

Check whether there is a public NAT Gateway attached:

Code Block
languagebash
aws ec2 describe-nat-gateways --filter Name=vpc-id,Values=<vpc_id> --output json | jq '.NatGateways[] | {NatGatewayId, SubnetId, ConnectivityType}'

...

If no private subnets exist, follow the AWS documentation to create a private subnet and a public NAT Gateway.

Security

...

A pre-provisioned, user-managed SSH key pair is required to access the Infrastructure Optimizer head nodeManagement Server.

Info

OPTIONAL: Follow the AWS EC2 documentation to generate a SSH key pair.

For environments with existing PKI setup, the x509 certificates, private key, and optionally, intermediate chain certificates and CA certificates will also be also needed.

...

Compute

Infrastructure Optimizer runs on the following OSes:

  • Rocky Linux

  • CentOS

EC2 Instance Profiles

The Infrastructure Optimizer Controllers and Workers require a set of IAM permissions to manage and scale your workloads efficiently. Use this CloudFormation template to create the EC2 instance profiles.

Info

When completed, the roles and instance profile ARNs output by CloudFormation will be needed for subsequent installation steps
