openIDL Navigation
The following is a list of prerequisites with a brief explanation of the required components necessary for the deployment of an openIDL Node on AWS.
| # | Prerequisite | Definition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AWS Account | An AWS account is only required for the sake of separating the openIDL Node in its own "namespace". Often, creating an AWS account under the corporate account of your organization may make it easier to bring security to higher standards by isolating the openIDL Node. Of course, this is not a hard requirement and a general AWS account where your organization keeps other AWS-based projects can be used. | |
| 2 | AWS IAM User | An AWS IAM User with the permissions to create the terraform IAM user and role is required. If that is not possible, your IT team could be provided with a Terraform script or step-by-step documentation to create an IAM user and role to be used further in the setup process. Access to the following services will be granted as part of the IAM role's policy:
| |
| 3 | Terraform Cloud Account | Credentials to access https://app.terraform.io The account is used to store the Terraform workspace data. | |
| 4 | Operating System | Linux or MacOS In case Windows is the only host OS supported by your IT department, a virtual machine running Ubuntu would be a good workaround. Virtualization software such as VirtualBox or VmWare Workstation Player/Pro can be of help in running the VM on your local host. | |
| 5 | Open Source Software | The following list represents the open-source software required on the client machine that will be used to deploy the initial components of an openIDL Node.
