Overview

This template will instantiate a 2-node Alfresco cluster with the following capabilities:

• All Alfresco nodes will be placed inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
• An Elastic Load Balancer instance with "sticky" sessions based on the Tomcat JSESSIONID.
• Shared S3 ContentStore
• MySQL database on RDS instances.
• Each Alfresco node will be in a separate Availability Zone.
• Auto-scaling roles that will add extra Alfresco nodes when certain performance thresholds are reached.

Basic Usage

• Launch the AWS Console
• Click Create Stack.
• Name and upload the Alfresco CloudFormation Template.
• Click Continue.
• Fill out the form making sure you review the following:
  • Ensure you use the name of an existing S3 bucket.
  • Verify the instance sizes and be mindful of the hourly costs.
  • Provide the logins and passwords for the database and Alfresco admin accounts. These accounts and passwords will be created & set by the template.
  • Ensure you set the correct EC2 key.
• Click Continue and finish the wizard.

Tips

• The instances will take 10-15 minutes to start.
• Use the Events tab to review status and any errors.
• Once the environment starts, use the Output tab to get the URL of the load-balancer.
• If stack deletion does not complete and the Events show an error related to VPC, login to the VPC console and delete the corresponding VPC; then delete the stack again.
