Using the AWS CloudFormation console, you can create a stack which deploys an Amazon EC2 instance in which App Volumes Manager is automatically installed and partially configured. This workflow also helps you to install App Volumes agent in the Amazon AppStream 2.0 service and deliver applications for Amazon AppStream 2.0 users.
You must perform the rest of the App Volumes Manager configuration using the App Volumes Manager admin UI.
The rest of the components required for delivering App Volumes applications is as follows: subnet, VPC, DHCP option set, Active Directory, App Volumes agent, and SQL server database.
At the end of the deployment, to create and manage applications and packages, you can use App Volumes workflows as described in the App Volumes documentation.
App Volumes documentation is available at VMware Docs.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that you already have all the setup as mentioned in Preparing for App Volumes for Amazon AppStream 2.0.
- You can use the default administrator user to log into the virtual machine (Amazon EC2 instance) where App Volumes Manager is installed with VM key pair. Ensure that you create and have access to such a VM key pair.
VM key pair can be created using Amazon EC2.
- Ensure that you have already created a VPC (virtual private network) and a subnet in the VPC using the AWS service.
