Required AWS Objects

Page last updated:

Warning: Pivotal Operations Manager v2.5 is no longer supported because it has reached the End of General Support (EOGS) phase as defined by the Support Lifecycle Policy. To stay up to date with the latest software and security updates, upgrade to a supported version.

This topic describes the objects you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS) in order to deploy PCF.

Overview

Use this topic to determine the resource requirements of PCF on AWS, or to verify that you created the correct resources after completing the procedures in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually and Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

S3 Buckets for Ops Manager and PAS

You must create the following S3 buckets from the S3 Dashboard:

• pcf-ops-manager-bucket
• pcf-buildpacks-bucket
• pcf-packages-bucket
• pcf-resources-bucket
• pcf-droplets-bucket

These buckets must be empty when you install or reinstall PCF.

See Step 2: Create S3 Buckets in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

IAM User for PCF

You must create an IAM user for PCF named pcf-user from the Identity and Access Management Dashboard, using the policy document included in the PCF for AWS Policy Document topic.

See Step 3: Create an IAM User for PCF in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

Key Pair

You must generate a key pair named pcf-ops-manager-key. For more information about setting up a key pair, see Amazon EC2 Key Pairs in the AWS documentation.

VPC (Public and Private Subnets)

You must create a VPC with public and private subnets from the VPC Dashboard.

The following table lists the subnets in CIDR block 10.0.0.0/16.

SSH ELB

The SSH ELB Security Group must be named pcf-ssh-elb-security-group and have the following inbound rule:

The SSH ELB Security Group must have the following outbound rule:

See Step 8: Configure a Security Group for the SSH ELB in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

TCP ELB

The TCP ELB Security Group must be named pcf-tcp-elb-security-group and have the following inbound rule:

The TCP ELB Security Group must have the following outbound rule:

See Step 9: Configure a Security Group for the TCP ELB in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

Outbound NAT

The Outbound NAT Security Group must be named pcf-nat-security-group and have the following inbound rule:

See Step 10: Configure a Security Group for the Outbound NAT in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

MySQL

The MySQL Security Group must be named pcf-mysql-security-group and have the following inbound rules:

The MySQL Security Group must have the following outbound rules:

See Step 11: Configure a Security Group for MySQL in Preparing to Deploy Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

Ops Manager AMI

You must locate the public Ops Manager AMI using the AMI ID provided by the PDF downloaded when clicking Pivotal Ops Manager for AWS on Pivotal Network.

See Step 1: Launch a Pivotal Ops Manager AMI in Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

ELBs

The following sections describe the ELBs you must create from the EC2 Dashboard.

Web ELB

You must create a web ELB with the following configuration:

• Name: pcf-web-elb
• LB Inside: pcf-vpc
• Selected Subnet: pcf-public-subnet-az0, pcf-public-subnet-az1, pcf-public-subnet-az2
• Security Group: pcf-elb-security-group
• Health Check: TCP Port 8080, Path: /health

See Step 2: Create Web Load Balancer in Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

SSH ELB

• Name: pcf-ssh-elb
• LB Inside: pcf-vpc
• Selected Subnet: pcf-public-subnet-az0, pcf-public-subnet-az1, pcf-public-subnet-az2
• Security Group: pcf-ssh-security-group
• Health Check: TCP Port 2222

See Step 3: Create SSH Load Balancer in Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

TCP ELB

• Name: pcf-tcp-elb
• LB Inside: pcf-vpc
• Selected Subnet: pcf-public-subnet-az0, pcf-public-subnet-az1, pcf-public-subnet-az2
• Security Group: pcf-tcp-security-group
• Health Check: TCP Port 80

See Step 4: Create TCP Load Balancer in Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

DNS Configuration

You must navigate to your DNS provider and create CNAME and A records for all three of your load balancers.

See Step 5: Configure DNS Records in Deploying Ops Manager on AWS Manually.

RDS Subnet Group

You must create a subnet group for RDS named pcf-rds-subnet-group from the RDS Dashboard.
