You have two options to install PPM on a cloud instance:
Local installation on the cloud instance
Remote installation on the cloud instance (currently only supported for Linux)
For both options, you must have access to the cloud instance in order to copy the setup and application repository to the hard drive of the cloud instance.
Requirements
Using an Amazon EC2 cloud instance, configure external access with the ports 4443 and 4080 to access the default ports of the load balancer (see Connection Parameters). If it is not possible to reconfigure Amazon EC2 firewalls, you must use the default ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) during further installation steps.
Determine the correct FQDN or IP address of the cloud instance. The external default FQDN on Amazon EC2 is "ec2-<elastic-ip>.compute-1.amazonaws.com" with "-" instead of the dots in the IP address, for example, "ec2-111-222-33-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com" if the elastic IP address is 111.222.33.44. Is this IP address or the FQDN is not available, it can be retrieved in the EC2 cloud instance by using the following URL in a browser: http://instance-data/latest/meta-data/public-hostname.
For public cloud instances, the public IP address will change every time the system is rebooted. If you do not want to purchase an elastic IP, you must reconfigure your PPM system every time the IP and hence the FQDN changes. See chapter Reconfigure host and port parameters for details.
