AWS: Installation Requirements

What You Need

• Access Key and Secret
• Region and Availability Zone to use
• Tectonic License and Pull Secret
• SSH Key pair in that region
• KMS Key in that region
• A Route53 Hosted Zone identifier. Tectonic will generate 2 subdomains in this Hosted Zone during provisioning.

Privileges

The AWS Access Key you provide requires access to the following AWS services:

• CloudFormation
• ELB
• EC2
• Route53
• S3
• Security Groups
• VPC

Credentials are never stored and are only available in-memory during the lifetime of your installer execution. They are only transmitted when making the necessary requests to AWS APIs.

Access

In order to access to the cluster 2 ELB backed services are exposed, both over the standard TLS port (443).
