Add VM as User Node on AWS
To add a new host to your platform installation on the AWS, access the EC2 console and follow the next steps:
1. Launch a new Instance within the same data center as the infrastructure PaaS instance.
2. Set a name for the instance.
3. In the AMI section, click the Browse more AMIs button.
4. Switch to the Marketplace tab and choose any free x86_64 image based on CentOS 7. For example: “CentOS 7 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM”.
5. Next, select the instance type based on your needs.
6. Choose a key pair to connect to the new instance.
7. Create a new security group based on the AWS Ports Requirements or choose the existing one (the same as for the other PaaS instances).
Tip: To view the security group of the PaaS infrastructure node, open the Instances section, click on your PaaS installation to view details, and switch to the Security tab:
8. Adjust the storage settings. The minimal requirement is 50GB; however, more than 100GB is recommended.
Create the configured instance when ready.
9. Log in to the Cluster Admin Panel and navigate to the Hosts section.
Click the Add > SSH Command button in the tools panel.
10. Within the opened frame, copy the command for a new host addition.
11. Connect to the server you’ve added on the WS EC2 via SSH and get root privileges by executing:

12. Run the host addition command from the 10th step.
That’s all! When the operation is completed, the server will be added to the PaaS cluster with all required interconnections.
