The Controller is certified to run on an AWS environment with the Aurora Database. This page provides information on installing, configuring, and administering a Controller deployment on AWS with Aurora Database.

Installation Overview

You can deploy a medium- or large-scale Controller in AWS using Aurora. Aurora provides higher performance than MySQL, which allows you to scale your Controller to handle more metrics.

Before you install the Controller, review the requirements for the components you plan to install and prepare the host machines. The requirements vary based on the components you deploy and the size of your deployment.

You can manually deploy your Controller on AWS. See Deploy the Controller on AWS.

This deployment requires attention and time because you have to set up all of the configurations. However, this gives you freedom to customize your deployment.

You use the Enterprise Console to deploy the Controller by specifying Aurora as the database type. The Enterprise Console is the installer for the Controller, and you can use it to manage the entire lifecycle of new or existing Splunk AppDynamics Platforms and components.

You can get the software for installing the platform components from the Splunk AppDynamics Downloads Portal.
