==Disaster Recovery==
* Provision your own disaster recovery strategy entirely, e.g. just a daily image of your server volumes instead of a hot backup environment.
=Example Setup within Amazon Web Services= The following is an example of how to provision the base infrastructure necessary to host SmartSimple in an AWS environment. These instructions assume a setup from scratch, but if you already have existing AWS components that you wish to deploy your SmartSimple environment into then you may need to modify the instructions. Once complete you will need to contact SmartSimple in order to install the SmartSimple components. ==Prerequisites== * A registered Amazon Web Services account. ==Creating the Initial Infrastructure== <ol><li>Select a '''Region''' to operate in (e.g. US East (N. Virginia)).</li><li>Within the '''VPC''' (Virtual Private Cloud) service menu, create a '''VPC''' with default tenancy.</li><ol><li>Create a '''Subnet''' in the VPC and select an '''Availability Zone'''.</li><li>Create an '''Internet Gateway''' and attach it to the VPC.</li><li>Edit the '''Route Table''' associated to the VPC and add the following route:<br/>Destination: 0.0.0.0/0 Target: above Internet Gateway</li></ol> <li>Create '''Security Groups''' to define the network security.</li><ol><li>Create a '''Security Group''' for the Web layer. Configure inbound rules for ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to be open from all sources (0.0.0.0/0).</li><li>Create a '''SecurityGroup''' for SSH access. Configure inbound rules for port 22 (SSH) to be open from SmartSimple office environments (contact SmartSimple for a list of static IPs).</li><li>Create a '''Security Group''' for the Database layer. Configure inbound rules for port 3306 (MySQL) to be open from the above Web Security Group.</li></ol><li>Within the '''IAM''' service menu, create an '''Encryption Key'''. This will be used for volume encryption.</li><li>Within the '''EC2''' service menu, launch an '''EC2 Instance'''.</li><ol><li>From the '''AWS Marketplace''', select the CentOS 6 image 'CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM'.<li>Select an '''Instance Type''' of m4.xlarge.<li>Select the VPC and corresponding Subnet.<li>Create three storage '''Volumes''' and enable encryption on them using the above key. Set the volumes with the following details: {| class="wikitable"| Name| Type| Device| Size (GiB)|-| Root| Root| /dev/sda1| 10|-| SmartSimple| EBS| /dev/sdf| 1000|-| Ext| EBS| /dev/sdg| 30|}</li> <li>Encrypt the volumes with the above Encryption Key.</li><li>Associate the above Web and SSH Security Groups.</li></ol></ol> ===Optional RDS Deployment=== While the above steps are sufficient for a base SmartSimple environment, the following instructions are optional if you wish to provision a high availability clustered environment by adding an AWS Relational Database Service (RDS) instance.
