Question

AMS 5 on AWS - Support

Hi everyone, we currently have an AMI in Amazon Web Services with v4.0 that we need to upgrade to v5 (with the rebranding in between) for our customer. So far it's going good, I have launched a new instance and started copying the configuration info to one another. This made me question how or what is the best way to maintain a backup of this servers, since it is an instance type and a reboot or shutdown erases all configuration.

I would also like to know how can I take metrics of the RTMFP connections, as the instance we're using is a "large" type, and it is currently limited to 100 simultaneous connections. This was an issue we were having with an older instance; at some point the FMS stopped recording and we had to do a restart once a week.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Yes a reboot/shutdown of the AMI will erase all instance data. I think the best bet to back up is saving on an external EBS Volume. You can then create a snapshot of that and actually create a volume only on need-basis. You might want to confirm from AWS experts whether this is the right approach.

For RTMFP connections, I believe you can monitor them via the Administration Console.

Thanks Shiven for your prompt answer. I will try and see what the Administration Console tells me.
