Deploy an SAP application with Amazon Launch Wizard
The following steps guide you through deploying an SAP application with Amazon Launch Wizard after you have launched it from the console.
Create a deployment
-
From the Amazon Launch Wizard landing page, choose Create deployment.
-
Choose SAP.
-
Under Permissions, Launch Wizard displays the Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles required for Launch Wizard to access other Amazon services on your behalf. For more information about these roles and setting up IAM for Launch Wizard, see Identity and Access Management for Amazon Launch Wizard. Choose Next.
Define infrastructure
On the Define infrastructure page, define your deployment name and infrastructure settings.
-
Under the General subheading, define the following:
-
Deployment name. Enter a unique application name for your deployment.
-
Description (Optional). Provide an optional description of your deployment.
-
Enable rollback on failed deployment. By default, if a deployment fails, your provisioned resources will not be rolled back/deleted. This default configuration helps you to troubleshoot errors at the resource level as you debug deployment issues. If you want your provisioned resources to be immediately deleted if a deployment fails, select the check box.
-
Create an Amazon Service Catalog product. Select the check box to package and export Amazon CloudFormation templates and associated application configuration scripts to Amazon S3 and create an Amazon Service Catalog product. You use these scripts to deploy and configure Amazon infrastructure resources for SAP applications. If you select this option, the templates and scripts are saved to the specified Amazon S3 path. You can use the saved Amazon CloudFormation templates and Amazon Service Catalog products for repeated deployments of the SAP applications using CloudFormation, Amazon Service Catalog, and third-party applications integrated with Amazon Service Catalog.
-
Tags (Optional). Enter a key and value to assign metadata to your deployment. For help with tagging, see Tagging Your Amazon EC2 Resources.
-
-
Under the Infrastructure – SAP landscape subheading, configure the following infrastructure settings for your SAP landscape.
- Configuration options
-
-
Under Configuration type, choose whether to Create new configuration or Apply saved configuration.
-
Enter the following information:
-
Configuration name. Enter a name or short description to identify your configuration. You can save this configuration for future use.
-
Deployment environment. (Create new configuration, only) Choose whether to deploy into a Production or Non-Production environment.
-
-
- Configuration details
-
If you choose to create a new configuration, enter the following information.
-
Key pair name. Choose an existing key pair from the dropdown list or select the link to create one. If you select Create new key pair name, you are directed to the Amazon EC2 console. From the Amazon EC2 console, under Network and Security, choose Key Pairs. Choose Create a new key pair, enter a name for the key pair, and then choose Download Key Pair.
Important
This is the only time that you can save the private key file, so download and save it in a safe place. You must specify the name of your key pair when you launch an instance, and provide the corresponding private key each time that you connect to the instance.
Return to the Launch Wizard console, and choose the refresh button next to the Key Pair name dropdown list. The new key pair appears in the dropdown list. For more information about key pairs, see Amazon EC2 Key Pairs.
-
Virtual Private Cloud. Choose a VPC from the dropdown list or select the Create VPC link. If you select Create VPC, you are redirected to the VPC console to create a VPC.
-
Availability Zone and private subnets. You can deploy into one or two Availability Zones with up to two private subnets per Availability Zone. Different requirements are needed for different systems in the landscape. You must select two Availability Zones with a required primary and optional secondary subnet for each Availability Zone. These selections are used for each deployment according to the deployment model that you selected.
From the dropdown lists, choose the Availability Zones within which you want to deploy your SAP systems and choose the private subnets. The private subnets must have outbound connectivity to the internet and to other Amazon services, such as Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFormation, and CloudWatch Logs. They must also be able to access the Linux repositories required for instance configuration.
For high availability deployments, the following subnets must share a common route table:
-
subnet 1 in Availability Zone 1 and subnet 1 in Availability Zone 2
-
subnet 2 in Availability Zone 1 and subnet 2 in Availability Zone 2
To create a private subnet
-
If a subnet doesn't have a route to an internet gateway, the subnet is known as a private subnet. Use the following procedure to create a private subnet. We recommend that you enable the outbound connectivity for each of your selected private subnets using a NAT gateway. To enable outbound connectivity from private subnets with public subnets, create a NAT Gateway in your chosen public subnet. Then, follow the steps in Updating Your Route Table for each of your private subnets.
-
Follow the steps in Creating a Subnet in the Amazon VPC User Guide using the existing VPC that you will use in Launch Wizard.
-
When you create a VPC, it includes a main route table by default. On the Route Tables page in the Amazon VPC console, you can view the main route table for a VPC by looking for Yes in the Main column. The main route table controls the routing for all subnets that are not explicitly associated with any other route table. If the main route table for your VPC has an outbound route to an internet gateway, then any subnet created using the previous step, by default, becomes a public subnet. To ensure the subnets are private, you may need to create separate route tables for your private subnets. These route tables must not contain any routes to an internet gateway. Alternatively, you can create a custom route table for your public subnet and remove the internet gateway entry from the main route table.
-
-
-
Verify Connectivity. Select the check box to verify that your private subnets have outbound internet connectivity.
-
Security groups. You can choose already existing security groups or Launch Wizard can create security groups that will be assigned to the EC2 instances that Launch Wizard deploys. If you choose already existing security groups, you must ensure that all of the necessary ports required to access the SAP and SAP HANA databases are open. If you choose to allow Launch Wizard to create the security groups, the security groups are created to enable the components of the cluster to communicate. Systems that are deployed with the same configuration settings can also communicate.
If you choose an existing security group, Launch Wizard displays the security groups that will be assigned to the EC2 instances that Launch Wizard deploys. This enables the components to communicate and systems that are deployed with the same configuration settings to communicate.
-
Connectivity to external systems or users. If you allowed Launch Wizard to create the security groups, then choose the Connection type and Value of the IP address or security groups required to access the SAP systems. These values can be a network segment from which the end users access the SAP systems, or downstream/upstream systems assigned a different security group in Amazon or on premises.
-
Proxy setting. During the launch process, the deployed Amazon EC2 instances require outbound internet access in order to:
-
Access the operating system (SUSE/RHEL) repositories.
-
Access Amazon services, such as Amazon S3, CloudWatch and Systems Manager.
An internet gateway is typically configured for outbound internet access. If you want to route internet traffic through a proxy server, enter the proxy server details. When proxy server information is provided, Launch Wizard will make the necessary environment changes to the EC2 instances during launch so that outbound internet traffic is routed through the proxy server.
-
PROXY. Enter the proxy server name and port, for example
http://10.0.0.140:3128
orhttps://10.0.0.140.3128
. -
NO_PROXY. When a proxy server is used for outbound communication, the
NO_PROXY
environment variable is used to route traffic without using the proxy for the following types of traffic:-
local communication
-
traffic to other instances within the VPC
-
traffic to other Amazon services for which VPC endpoints are created
Enter a list of comma-separated values to denote hostnames, domain names, or a combination of both.
-
We recommend that you add all Amazon service endpoints (if defined) to the
NO_PROXY
environment variable so that a private connection between the VPC and the service endpoint can be established in the Amazon VPN. For more information on Amazon service endpoints, see Amazon service endpoints.NO_PROXY
is an optional parameter. If no value is entered, the following default URLs are added to the environment. Values entered forNO_PROXY
at a later time are added to this list.NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,169.254.169.254,.internal,{VPC_CIDR_RANGE}"
Default
NO_PROXY
URL details-
localhost—loopback hostname
-
127.0.0.1—loopback adapter IP
-
169.254.169.254—EC2 metadata link-local address
-
.internal—default DNS for the VPC
-
{VPC_CIDR_RANGE}—CIDR block of the VPC, for example, 10.0.0.0/24
-
-
Time zone. Choose the time zone settings to configure the timezone on the instances from the dropdown list.
-
EBS encryption. From the dropdown list, choose whether or not to enable EBS encryption for all of the EBS volumes that are created for the SAP systems. For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption.
-
Domain name (DNS) settings (Optional). Select Domain Name or Route 53 from the DNS type dropdown list.
-
If you select Domain Name, you have the option to enter a domain name to maintain a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in the
/etc/hosts
file for each instance that is launched and configured by Launch Wizard. -
If you select Route 53, select a Route 53 hosted zone from the dropdown list. Launch Wizard will create a DNS entry for each EC2 instance launched.
Note
Before you use a Route 53 hosted zone, verify that the hosted zone is integrated with the VPC, and that the VPC DHCP options are correctly set up.
