3 Enable the secure cloud tunnel connection.
enable-cloud-tunnel --name TunnelName
4 Confirm that the secure cloud tunnel connection is established.
test-cloud-tunnel --name TunnelName
Verifying the secure cloud tunnel connection might take a few minutes.
Application Services establishes a connection to the Endpoint VM on Amazon EC2.
What to do next
Meet the virtual machine requirements and create Amazon EC2 AMIs. See Virtual Machine Requirements
for Creating Amazon EC2 Custom Templates and Create Amazon EC2 Virtual Machine Templates or
AMIs.
You can also manage the existing cloud tunnel connection in CLI. See Managing Cloud Tunnels.
Virtual Machine Requirements for Creating Amazon EC2
Custom Templates
You can use supported Linux operating systems to create custom virtual machine templates or Amazon
Machine Images (AMIs) for your applications. You can also customize existing AMIs or virtual machine
templates and use them in Application Services.
Table 11‑1. Virtual Machine Requirements for Custom AMIs
Requirement Description
Operating system CentOS 6.3
JRE JRE 1.7.0 must be installed. The preferred and supported JRE can be installed from one of these packages,
which are available in the Application Services virtual appliance:
JRE for Linux

n
http://Application_Director_IP/agent/jre-7u45-linux-i586.rpm
To install JRE on an RPM-based AMI, see Create Amazon EC2 Virtual Machine Templates or AMIs.
Linux agent
bootstrap service
Download the Linux agent bootstrap package vmware-appdirector-agent-service-ec2 from the VMware
product download site http://vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. Install the Linux agent bootstrap script from
one of the following packages:
