This Quick Start deploys a Dynatrace Managed cluster on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud in about 30 minutes.
Dynatrace Managed is an all-in-one performance-monitoring solution. You can use a single platform to analyze application performance throughout your application’s full stack, down to each individual transaction across all layers and technologies.
This Quick Start is for IT infrastructure architects, administrators, and DevOps professionals who want to use the Dynatrace Managed model for deployments and run their cluster in the AWS Cloud.
This Quick Start was developed by Dynatrace in collaboration with AWS. Dynatrace is an APN Partner.

Use this Quick Start to automatically set up a Dynatrace Managed cluster on AWS. The deployment includes the following:
- A highly available architecture that spans multiple Availability Zones.*
- A 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.*
- A Network Load Balancer that can be used to access the Dynatrace Managed cluster and send monitoring data from outside of the VPC.
- Three Elastic IP addresses used by the Network Load Balancer.
- In each of the private subnets, an Amazon EC2 instance with Dynatrace Managed server installed. Each Amazon EC2 instance is using six Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. For each instance there is also an Amazon CloudWatch alarm defined for Amazon EC2 Auto Recovery.
* The template that deploys the Quick Start into an existing VPC skips the tasks marked by asterisks and prompts you for your existing VPC configuration.
