Install a connector in Amazon Web Services

Create an EAA connector Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment.

The connector does not receive traffic from outside but it may need to connect to EAA cloud instances for configuration and other data. Make sure the security group associated with the connector is set up with the following policy:

Outgoing traffic: Allow all.
Incoming traffic: Deny all.

Create and download a connector in EAA.
Log in to EAA Management Portal.
In the EAA Management Portal navigation menu, select Connectors.
Select your connector for AWS. It's package type should be: Amazon AWS EC2/VPC.
Download the CloudFormation template.
Log in to your AWS console and select AWS services menu > AWS CloudFormation > CREATE STACK.
Under Create Template, select Upload a template to Amazon S3.
Click Choose File.
Select the downloaded CloudFormation template.
Enter a stack name, NAT instance type, VPC ID and subnet information and click Next.

📘
For the NAT instance type, a recommended minimum is m4.large.
Complete the configuration of tags, storage, and other features as needed. Since AWS does not use swap space for storage use a minimum of 12 GB RAM.
Click CREATE. Once the stack creation is complete, the connector instance starts and automatically connects to the EAA Cloud.
Return to EAA Management Portal.
In the EAA Management Portal navigation menu, select Connectors.
Select your AWS connector VM and click Approve.

Install a Docker-based connector

Set up Control Center connector as a Docker image on a Docker-ready environment.

Prerequisite:
Installed Docker. Enterprise Application Access (EAA) connectors installed as Docker containers require a Docker-ready OS environment.

📘
Client-access applications cannot be attached to a Docker-based connector. For RDP and SSH, make sure you choose browser-based applications for docker to support.

Create and download a connector in EAA.
In your Docker environment, open a terminal window.
Go to the downloaded Docker container.

Unzip the Docker image:

$ gunzip <Connector_docker_image_filename.tar.gz>

Load the image into Docker:

$ sudo docker load -i <Connector_docker_image_filename.tar>

Check that the image is loaded properly and find the <docker_image_name>:
```
$ sudo docker images
```

Run the Docker image:

$ sudo docker run --name <Connector_Name> --restart=always -d <docker_image_name>

Confirm that the Docker-based container is running:
```
$ sudo docker ps
```
Return to EAA Management Portal and verify that the connector shows the private and public IP addresses assigned to it.
Click Click here to approve the connector. Wait while the EAA service verifies the connector.
A success message appears. Docker-based connector runs as a container.
To prevent abnormal behavior in the event of the agent being restarted, commit the connector to a new image:
```
$ sudo docker commit <Connector_Container_ID> <new_image_name>
```
Replace <new_image_name> with the name of your connector.
Docker-based connector now runs as a container on your server, and you can add your applications and secure them with Enterprise Application Access.
