Services
Setting up an Amazon EC2 environment requires you to create a VPC as a target location in an Amazon
Region for application deployments. You must configure this VPC for Application Services applications to
be deployed.
For deployments to Amazon EC2, NICs on the external networks receive Elastic IP addresses. In
addition, a new security group is created for each deployment to allow communication between the
instances in the deployment. This security group allows external access to 80, 8080, 8081, 8443, and 22
ports. For any other ports that you need to open, use the Amazon EC2 management console to locate the
new security group and add the appropriate rules.
