Setting Up Application
Provisioning for the Amazon
EC2 Environment 11
You must set up one or more cloud environments to use Application Services to deploy applications in an
Amazon EC2 environment.
Setting up application provisioning in an Amazon EC2 cloud environment involves signing up for an
Amazon Web Services (AWS) user account and creating and configuring a VPC in an Amazon Region.
With Application Services, you can create cloud providers and link them to a VPC in an Amazon Region.
You must create virtual machine templates in the Amazon EC2 environments. These templates are used
during application deployment to create virtual machines.
In Application Services, you must register a cloud provider and template. Registering a cloud provider
involves specifying an Amazon EC2 Region. When you register a cloud template, you map an AMI from
the cloud environment to a logical template in the Application Services library. You must then create a
deployment environment and map this deployment environment to a combination of an Amazon Virtual
Private Cloud (VPC) and Availability Zone.
To deploy a Application Services application to Amazon EC2, you must create a special virtual machine in
the VPC, called an Endpoint VM. The Endpoint VM serves as the destination of a secure channel, called
a cloud tunnel, from the Application Services appliance in your corporate network to your Amazon VPC
environment. Application deployments in the VPC communicate with the Application Services appliance
through the Endpoint VM. You can create and manage the cloud tunnels using the CLI. See Managing
Cloud Tunnels.
