ADC

Prerequisites

Before attempting to create a VPX instance in AWS, ensure you have the following:

  • An AWS account: to launch a Citrix ADC VPX AMI in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can create an AWS account for free at www.aws.amazon.com.
  • An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account: to securely control access to AWS services and resources for your users. For more information about how to create an IAM user account, see the topicCreating IAM Users (Console).

一个我的角色是强制性的独立和high availability deployments. The IAM role must have the following privileges:

ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces ec2:DetachNetworkInterface ec2:AttachNetworkInterface ec2:StartInstances ec2:StopInstances ec2:RebootInstances ec2:DescribeAddresses ec2:AssociateAddress ec2:DisassociateAddress ec2:AssignPrivateIpAddresses ec2:UnAssignPrivateIpAddresses autoscaling:* sns:CreateTopic sns:DeleteTopic sns:ListTopics sns:Subscribe sqs:CreateQueue sqs:ListQueues sqs:DeleteMessage sqs:GetQueueAttributes sqs:SetQueueAttributes iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy iam:GetRole 

If you use the Citrix CloudFormation template, the IAM role is automatically created. The template does not allow selecting an already created IAM role.

Note: When you log on the VPX instance through GUI, a prompt to configure the required privileges for IAM role appears. Ignore the prompt if you’ve already configured the privileges.
