Launch EdgeOS on AWS #

EdgeOS can be deployed on AWS as either an Edge Connect video appliance or an Edge Core control plane.

Quick start: If you already have a VPC and subnet, go to Launch via CloudFormation .

Prerequisites #

Before launching EdgeOS, you need a VPC and subnet in your AWS account.

Create a VPC #

1. Go to the VPC Console
2. Click Create VPC
3. Select VPC and more to create a VPC with subnets automatically
4. Configure the settings and click Create VPC

Launch via CloudFormation #

Pick the variant you want to deploy, then click the link to open the AWS CloudFormation console with the template pre-loaded.

Filling in the parameters #

This opens the AWS CloudFormation console with the EdgeOS template pre-loaded.

The required fields are:

• Stack name (prefilled)
• EC2 Instance Type (prefilled)
• VPC ID
• Subnet ID

After the parameters a number of additional parameters can be specified, they can be left as they are.

Accessing Your Instance #

After creating the stack, wait a few minutes for the status to change to CREATE_COMPLETE.

Once complete, find the instance URL and password in the Outputs tab of your stack. You may need to click the refresh button (⟳) to see the outputs. Copy the password and click on the WebUI link.

You will get a warning from your browser because the HTTPS certificate is self-signed:

Accept the risk to proceed to the login screen, where you use the admin username with the password from the outputs tab.

Cleanup #

To remove your EdgeOS instance:

1. Go to the CloudFormation Console
2. Select your EdgeOS stack
3. Click Delete and confirm

After the stack is deleted, clean up the VPC and subnet if they are no longer needed:

1. Go to the VPC Console
2. Delete the subnet first, then delete the VPC
