Configuring the AMI for deployment
Type c5.xlarge is the only supported instance type. Make certain to verify that type c5.xlarge is available in the region in which you intend to deploy.
1. From the AWS console, select the EC2 service.
2. Under Images on the left panel, select AMIs. The AMI that Riverbed made available for you should appear in the list.
3. Select the AMI.
4. Select Launch to deploy.
5. Enter a descriptive name for the instance.
6. Select the instance type.
7. Configure the settings according to your infrastructure setup. For example, the subnet that you assign should be one on which the appliance will be able to communicate with the systems sending traffic.
8. Optionally, add storage.
About storage
The main volume that is displayed (/dev/xvda) is for the OS and for metrics collection. You can choose to configure a second drive as storage, depending on your needs. To add storage from this page, select Add New Volume. This will add a row to the table of attached volumes.
Avoid using Magnetic storage for /dev/sdb.
About key pairs
A window will appear for configuring SSH key pairs. Portal Cloud does not support key pairs for authentication of SSH sessions. Select Proceed without a key pair.
