Installing ESA on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud-based computing service. It provides several services, such as, computing power through Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), storage through Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and so on.
The AWS stores Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), which are templates or virtual images containing an operating system, applications, and configuration settings.
Protegrity appliances offer flexibility and can run in the following environments:
- On-premise: The ESA is installed and runs on dedicated hardware.
- Virtualized: The ESA is installed and runs on a virtual machine.
- Cloud: The ESA is installed and runs on or as part of a Cloud-based service.
Protegrity provides AMIs that contain the ESA image, running on a customized and hardened Linux distribution.
