Welcome to your first step towards cloud efficiency and savings with Infrastructure Optimizer!
Before you begin, use this checklist to confirm your environment satisfies the specifications required to operate Infrastructure Optimizer.
Network
Component | Requirements |
VPC | Contains at least one private subnet. Check with this command: aws ec2 describe-subnets --filter Name=vpc-id,Values=<YOUR VPC ID> --query 'Subnets[?MapPublicIpOnLaunch==`false`].SubnetId' |
NAT Gateway | Has a NAT Gateway with public connectivity. Verify with this command: aws ec2 describe-nat-gateways --filter Name=vpc-id,Values=<YOUR VPC ID> | jq '.NatGateways[] | {NatGatewayId, ConnectivityType}' |
Security
Component | Details |
SSH Key | This will be used to attach to the Management Server. |
Trusted Certificate | Required only if deploying in a private environment. |
Compute
Component | Requirements |
Operating System | Using Linux variants. |
Permissions
Installations And Deployment
The AWS IAM principal used to install Infrastructure Optimizer must have the following permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:RunInstances", "ec2:DescribeInstances", "ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes", "ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus", "ec2:StopInstances", "ec2:TerminateInstances", "ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute", "ec2:DescribeSubnets", "ec2:DescribeVpcs", "ec2:DescribeVpcAttribute", "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups", "ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress", "ec2:CreateSecurityGroup", "ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress", "ec2:DeleteSecurityGroup", "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroupRules", "ec2:CreateTags", "ec2:DescribeKeyPairs", "ec2:DescribeImages", "ec2:DescribeImageAttribute", "ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones", "ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes", "ec2:DescribeRouteTables", "ec2:DescribeNetworkAcls", "ec2:DescribeAddresses", "ec2:DescribeDhcpOptions", "ec2:DescribeSnapshots" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::cf-template*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:CreateStack", "cloudformation:UpdateStack", "cloudformation:CreateUploadBucket", "cloudformation:DescribeStackEvents", "cloudformation:DescribeStacks", "cloudformation:GetTemplateSummary", "cloudformation:ListStacks", "cloudformation:ListStackResources", "cloudformation:DeleteStack" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "iam:CreateRole", "iam:DeleteRole", "iam:ListRoles", "iam:TagRole", "iam:PutRolePolicy", "iam:DeleteRolePolicy", "iam:GetRole", "iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies", "iam:CreateInstanceProfile", "iam:AddRoleToInstanceProfile", "iam:RemoveRoleFromInstanceProfile", "iam:DeleteInstanceProfile", "iam:ListPolicies", "iam:PassRole", "iam:ListOpenIDConnectProviders", "iam:GetOpenIDConnectProvider", "iam:ListEntitiesForPolicy", "iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole", "iam:ListInstanceProfiles", "iam:ListInstanceProfilesForRole", "iam:AttachRolePolicy" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "eks:DescribeCluster", "eks:ListClusters", "eks:UpdateClusterConfig", "eks:UpdateClusterVersion", "eks:CreateNodegroup", "eks:DescribeNodegroup", "eks:ListNodegroups", "eks:UpdateNodegroupConfig", "eks:UpdateNodegroupVersion", "eks:DescribeAddon", "eks:DescribeAddonVersions", "eks:ListAddons", "eks:UpdateAddon", "eks:AccessKubernetesApi", "eks:ListAccessPolicies", "eks:AssociateAccessPolicy", "eks:ListIdentityProviderConfigs", "eks:DescribeAccessEntry", "eks:ListPodIdentityAssociations", "eks:ListAssociatedAccessPolicies", "eks:CreateAccessEntry" ], "_comment": "Change the below Resource to specific cluster - arn:aws:eks:region:account-id:cluster/cluster-name", "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ssm:ListAssociations", "ssm:GetParametersByPath" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } |
EC2 Instance Profile
The X-Spot 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.
When completed, the roles and instance profile ARNs output by CloudFormation will be needed for subsequent installation steps
