Use this Quick Start to deploy an Alfresco Process Services server cluster on the AWS Cloud.

Alfresco Process Services is an Enterprise Business Process Management system that many organizations use to automate and drive business operations such as client onboarding, investment services, patient care pathway, and case management. The flexible compute, storage, and database services that AWS offers make it an ideal platform for Alfresco Process Services. This Quick Start presents an enterprise-grade Alfresco Process Services configuration that you can adapt to virtually any scenario, and scale up, down, or out, depending on your use case.

The Quick Start includes AWS CloudFormation templates that deploy Alfresco Process Services automatically into a highly available, secure AWS Cloud environment.

  • What you'll build

    Use this Quick Start to set up the following Alfresco Process Services environment on AWS:

    • A highly available architecture that spans two Availability Zones.*
    • A virtual private cloud (VPC) configured with public and private subnets according to AWS best practices, to provide you with your own virtual network on AWS.*
    • An internet gateway to allow access to the Internet. This gateway is used by the bastion hosts to send and receive traffic.*
    • In the public subnets, managed NAT gateways to allow outbound Internet access for resources in the private subnets.*
    • In the public subnets, a Linux bastion host in an Auto Scaling group to allow inbound Secure Shell (SSH) access to EC2 instances in public and private subnets.*
    • In the private subnets, an Alfresco Process Services instance in an Auto Scaling group to add or remove highly available process services. Additionally, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is configured for high availability.
    • Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), which provides shared file storage for the cluster.
    • Your choice to create a new VPC or deploy Alfresco Process Services into your existing VPC. 

     

    The template that deploys the Quick Start into an existing VPC skips the tasks marked by asterisks above.
