Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Please use the "CloudFormation" option in the drop down list to deploy the DDVE instance with an automated deployment process which will automatically provision the necessary EBS Volumes with the appropriate instance type.
- The CloudFormation option may be used to deploy new instances of Data Domain Virtual Edition.
- CloudFormation deployment will automatically provisions the recommended local metadata storage.
- Plan to deploy the DDVE on a private subnet.
If you select the AMI option, you will deploy the EC2 instance with DDVE and will have to provision and attach the metadata disks manually
- Configure storage devices before booting the AMI for the first time: DDVE requires a 10 GiB volume using EBS GP2 storage, as /dev/sdb device.
- Add the required metadata disks in 1TiB increments. Recommended total metadata storage required is 10% of the total capacity, based on 20x deduplication ratio. For workloads, with higher deduplication ratio, more metadata storage will be needed.
- Launch your DDVE Instance (private subnet).
Refer to the Data Domain Virtual Edition Installation and Administration Guide (available at support.emc.com or in the Data Domain Community at community.emc.com) to further configure and start using DDVE as a backup target.
