MYOB Acumatica Installation in a Data Center: Installing MYOB Acumatica on Amazon Web Services

You can install MYOB Acumatica on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides the web server to host the MYOB Acumatica application, while the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) provides the storage for the database. This topic includes recommendations for configuring the EC2 and RDS instances, as well as details about deploying MYOB Acumatica on AWS.

Prerequisite Tasks

Before you start installing MYOB Acumatica on AWS, make sure that you have completed the following tasks:

  • Signing up for AWS account
  • Creating a key pair for secure access to your EC2 instances
  • Creating a security group that defines the rules for network access to your EC2 instance, based on which it can connect to your RDS instance

Installation of MYOB Acumatica on AWS

The process of installing MYOB Acumatica on AWS generally involves the following steps:

  1. Launching an Amazon EC2 instance. During the launch of an Amazon EC2 instance, you select the instance type based on the performance requirements of the MYOB Acumatica. This selection determines the processing power, memory, and network performance of the instance. Additionally, you configure the EC2 instance with the appropriate network settings, such as assigning it to a specific virtual private cloud (VPC) and setting up security groups. You also configure storage options, including the type and size of storage volumes, to ensure optimal performance and data persistence for the MYOB Acumatica. For details, see MYOB Acumatica Installation in a Data Center: To Launch an Amazon EC2 Instance.
  2. Creating an Amazon RDS database instance. During the creation of an Amazon RDS database instance, you select a database engine that is compatible with the MYOB Acumatica to ensure proper functionality. You should determine the instance size based on performance needs and reserve sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the database. Additionally, you configure security settings to ensure secure access and protection of the database. For details, see MYOB Acumatica Installation in a Data Center: To Create a Database Instance on Amazon RDS.
  3. Installing the MYOB Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard and deploying an MYOB Acumatica application instance. After setting up the EC2 and RDS instances, you install the MYOB Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard. This tool is used for the deployment of the MYOB Acumatica instance and guides you through the configuration process. For more information, see MYOB Acumatica Installation On-Premises: To Install the MYOB Acumatica Configuration Wizard. Once the MYOB Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard is installed, you can deploy an MYOB Acumatica instance. During this deployment, the MYOB Acumatica is connected to the Amazon RDS database, ensuring that all application data is securely stored within the RDS environment.
