We are now creating the backup server, which is an EC2 instance too.
 |
| "Services", "EC2", "Launch instance". |
 |
"AWS Marketplace", look for "Cloud Protection Manager Free Edition",
click "Select". |
 |
| Click "Continue". |
 |
Choose the instance type.
Note that the vendor recommends "t2.small" or larger.
Click "Next: Configure Instance Details". |
 |
The "Subnet" must be the same as that of the client's EC2 instance.
The "IAM Role" is the one we created in Part 6.
Click "Next: Add Storage". |
 |
Specify the size and type of storage purchased by the client.
Click "Next: Add Tags". |
 |
| Nothing to do here. Click "Next: Configure Security Group". |
 |
| The defaults should work. Click "Review and Launch". |
 |
| Click "Launch". (But it is not really going to launch yet.) |
 |
Choose your key pair. (Click here for more details on what "key pair" is about.)
Tick the "I acknowledge..." box, click "Launch". |
 |
| Launching in progress... |
 |
Go to "Services", "EC2", and we should see a new instance starting up.
Notice that the "Name" is blank. |
 |
In this demo, we renamed the newly launched EC2 instance to "Backup Server".
Take note of its "Instance ID" and public IP address,
as these will be needed for further configuration of the backup server. |
Next, initial configuration of the backup server and backing up the client's EC2 instance in
Part 8.
