This topic describes how to launch a File Protect instance on AWS.
Important
The navigation instructions and user interface may vary based on the AWS Management Console version that is running when you deploy your appliances.
Note
This procedure covers the required settings for a Trellix virtual appliance. You can accept the default values for the other settings, or specify values that are appropriate for your environment.
Go to the AWS login page and log in using your AWS ID.
On the Profile page, select your AWS role and then click AWS Console URL.
On the next page, click AWS Console login. The AWS Management Console opens.
In the navigation bar at the top of the console, select the region for the instance.
In the AWS services section, select EC2.
Click Launch Instance in the Create Instance section.
On the Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) page, locate the AMI for the File Protect model. For example, locate "FireEyeFXCloudVec2nitro." Then click Select.
On the Choose an Instance Type page, select a type that meets your requirements as listed in File Protect requirements. Then click Next: Configure Instance Details.
On the Configure Instance Details page, select the management network and subnet from the Network and Subnet drop-down lists, and specify other settings provided by your network administrator. Click Next: Add Storage.
Note
Trellix recommends that you configure a static IP address in the Primary IP field in the Network interfaces section at the bottom of the page.
On the Add Storage page, keep the default settings and then click Next: Add Tags.
(If required by your AWS administrator) On the Add Tags page, provide key and value combinations. Then click Next: Configure Security Group.
On the Configure Security Group page, select or add the security group that defines firewall rules that control traffic to the File Protect instance. Then click Review and Launch.
Important
Trellix recommends using a security group applicable to your organization instead of using the default security group, which is less secure.
On the Review Instance Launch page, review the details about your instance. Click the appropriate Edit link if you need to make changes. When you are satisfied with the details, click Launch.
In the Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair dialog box:
Select an existing pair or create a new one. To use the key pair you created when you were set up to use Amazon EC2, click Choose an existing key pair, and then select that key.
Important
Store the name of the key pair and the private key in a secure location.
Select the checkbox to confirm that you agree to the acknowledgement statement, and then click Launch Instances.
