This deployment guide covers some suggested initial installation steps if you want to run the Discovery remote subscriber database in a new Amazon Web Services account.
The installation is simplified using cloudformation (cfn) scripts that create the AWS resources on your behalf.
The following manual steps are required before and after the scripts are run:
Prerequisites
Amazon Web Services
You will require an Amazon Web Services account to run the infrastructure, If you do not already have an AWS account then you can Sign up for an AWS account here.
Please supply your AWS account number to the Discovery team prior to running the installation. The account number can be found in the AWS console here.
Create a Key Pair
- Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
- In the navigation pane, select Key Pairs.
- Select Create key pair.
- In Name, type a descriptive name for the key pair.
- In File format, select the required save format for the private key. Tip: To save the private key in a format that can be used with OpenSSH, select pem; to save the private key in a format that can be used with PuTTY, select ppk.
- Select Create key pair.
Note: The private key is downloaded in your browser and must be kept safe; this is required to connect to the EC2 instances. Alternatively an existing key pair can be used.
AWS Cloudformation Installation - Network Stack
Note: The following subnets are hardcoded into the cfn script by default. You might need to change these according to your hosting requirements; the ACLs within the cfn script will also need updating.
VPC:
CIDR: "192.168.132.0/22"
Public0:
CIDR: "192.168.132.0/24"
Public1:
CIDR: "192.168.133.0/24"
Private0:
CIDR: "192.168.134.0/24"
Private1:
CIDR: "192.168.135.0/24"
Instructions
- In the AWS console, select Europe (London) eu-west-2 region.
- Navigate to CloudFormation by searching in the services drop-down menu.
- Click Create stack and then select With new resources (standard).
- Specify the template:

Step 3 - Configure Stack Options
Leave default and click next
Step 4 - Review
Review and click Create stack
Once the network stack is created (2-3 mins) you can see the resource CloudFormation has created in the Resources tab.
Navigate theServices - VPC to see the resources such as subnets, route tables and ACLs [[Image:]] === AWS Cloudformation Installation - VPC Endpoint (PrivateLink) === Prerequisites Note before running this cfn script you will need to create a security group that will be applied to the filer instance. You then select the security group from a drop-down list when running this cfn script. This will allow the filer instance to access the sftp server via the PrivateLink.
Your AWS account number will need to be whitelisted by Discovery before running the cfn script.
