Overview
AWS is a collection of remote computing services offered by Amazon.com, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform. These services operate from 11 geographical regions across the world.
In general, the user should become familiar with the following AWS services when deploying Cisco Cyber Vision Center and Cisco Cyber Vision Global Center:
-
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
A web service that enables you to rent virtual computers to launch and manage your own applications and services, such as a Cisco Cyber Vision Center, in Amazon's data centers.
-
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
A web service that enables you to configure an isolated private network that exists within the Amazon public cloud. You run your EC2 instances within a VPC.
-
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
A web service that provides you with a data storage infrastructure.
You create an account on AWS, set up the VPC and EC2 components (using either the AWS Wizards or manual configuration), and choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) instance. The AMI is a template that contains the software configuration needed to launch your instance.
Note |
The AMI images are not available for download outside of the AWS environment. |
