All user data settings are optional directives that can be included or left out of a configuration. For example, you can include the remote_console_enabled and default_admin_password declarations to the Elastic Scale configuration in Figure Adding the Grid Master, Token and Certificate information to the AWS vNIOS Instance in topic Provisioning Infoblox vNIOS for AWS using Elastic Scaling. The temp_license command setting does not interfere with or override any dynamic license assignments through Elastic Scaling. For more information, see Provisioning Infoblox vNIOS for AWS using Elastic Scaling.

Example:

  1. After reviewing the settings, click Launch. The Key Pair dialog box opens.

    • You can choose the Choose an existing key pair, Create a new keypair, or Proceed without a key pair option if you want to perform a simple deployment. Selecting an existing key or creating a new key pair file on AWS will upload the public key to NIOS. Then, click the I acknowledge... checkbox

    • The Infoblox standard configuration for Infoblox vNIOS for AWS deployment requires use of a VPN connection or a direct connection to the Amazon VPC(s) on which you are deploying and operating Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instances. This connection does not require an Internet-connected IP address or a secure key pair. All AWS Proxy API operations require use of an assigned and regularly rotated AWS-generated key pair assigned to the cloud-api-only account under Grid Manager. For information, see Assigning AWS User Credentials to the NIOS Cloud Admin Account/wiki/spaces/NAIGdraft/pages/22544467.

  2. Click Launch Instances to launch your new instance. After a brief period of time, the Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instance is active in your VPC.

  3. Perform additional tasks for the vNIOS for AWS configuration to ensure that the virtual appliance is functioning properly. For more information, see Additional Configuration for vNIOS for AWS.
    Note:

    • The access to the CLI using the NIOS password is blocked, except for the root user. To gain CLI entry, other users have to allow SSH keys in the NIOS Grid Manager.

    • For a Grid Master or a standalone vNIOS for AWS instance, the default NIOS password must be reset on the first login in the NIOS UI.
