This topic describes the procedure that you can use to launch and provision an Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instance for your AWS VPC in the AWS console. This procedure supports users who want to provision Infoblox vNIOS for AWS using the BYOL (Bring Your Own Licensing) model. It provides the complete sequence of procedures that you must perform to manually provision a new Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instance in AWS.

Infoblox vNIOS virtual appliances require two network interfaces (MGMT and LAN1) for proper Grid communications. These interfaces must be assigned to separate subnets within the same VPC.
Note that the NIOS GUI communicates through the MGMT port. If for any reason you must make changes to the MGMT port, such as swapping NICs or changing the MGMT IP address from static to dynamic, ensure that you use the same IP address for the MGMT port before and after the changes. Otherwise, you might not be able to access the NIOS GUI.

For a root volume, retain the default values : 250 GiB as the for size and gp2 as the volume type.
The default values differ based on the AMI that you select.To define settings for Elastic Block Storage volumes, click Advanced.
The default configuration of volume 1 is displayed.In the Storage (volumes) > EBS Volumes > Volume 1 (AMI Root) section, complete the following steps for Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volumes:
Size (GiB): Choose 250 from the drop-down listRetain the default value.
Volume type: Choose gp2 from the drop-down list.
Delete on termination: Choose Yes if you want to delete the volume when the instance is terminated, or choose No to keep the volume.
You can use this setting for your vNIOS for AWS instances to de-couple the root partition deletion from the state of the new EC2 instance. This allows retention of the volume for debugging and event log inspection.
Infoblox recommends keeping at least the minimum storage capacity defaults for the new Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instance.Encrypted: To enable encryption on the EBS volume, choose Encrypted.
Encryption of EBS volumes is supported only in NIOS 8.6.3 and later versions of 8.6.x.KMS key: Select a key that must be used to encrypt the volume.
This field is accessible only when encryption is enabled.
(For reporting appliances only) If you are deploying the vNIOS for AWS instance for reporting, you must create two virtual hard disks. One as the default disk used for storing regular NIOS data and a second disk for storing the reporting data. To add a second disk:
In the Configure storage/Storage (volumes) section, click the Add New Volume button.
In the Size (GiB) field, specify a size for the disk. Infoblox recommends that you allocate a minimum of 250 GB of additional disk space for the reporting storage requirements.
