There is no additional cost for using the Quick Start.

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this Quick Start reference deployment. The IBM Spectrum Scale evaluations page will be updated with details on how to proceed with acquiring an IBM Spectrum Scale license after the 90-day trial expires. After the trial period, you are responsible for acquiring the necessary licenses directly from IBM to use IBM Spectrum Scale.

IBM may decide to de-authorize access to the code, and the use of this code, at any time. The use of IBM Spectrum Scale on AWS (including all packages provided via the Quick Start offering, and packages derived from these) is only intended to be used for a maximum of 90 days, and is not intended for production use. The Quick Start builds the IBM Spectrum Scale environment by using a pre-built Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with IBM Spectrum Scale installed on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 7.2 operating system.Īt this time, you must accept a trial license version of IBM Spectrum Scale’s Data Management Edition (with the limitations described in the deployment guide) in order to be able to use the deployment solution enabled by the Quick Start.

These consist of IBM Network Shared Disk (NSD) storage server instances and IBM Spectrum Scale compute instances. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances for each logical role in the IBM Spectrum Scale deployment, in Auto Scaling groups.The Quick Start opens only ports for SSH and the IBM Spectrum Scale Daemon. Appropriate security groups for each instance or function to restrict access to only necessary protocols and ports.An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) instance role with fine-grained permissions for access to AWS services necessary for the deployment process.The bastion host instance is managed by an Auto Scaling group of 1, ensuring there will always be one host available.* In a public subnet, a bastion host to provide Secure Shell (SSH) access to the IBM Spectrum Scale cluster.In the public subnets, managed NAT gateways to allow outbound Internet access for resources in the private subnets.*.An internet gateway to allow access to the internet.*.A virtual private cloud (VPC) that spans two Availability Zones and includes two public and two private subnets, for security and high availability.Use this Quick Start to set up the following configurable environment on AWS:
