AWS Spirent AION Platform Terraform

Description

Spirent AION is a cloud platform for Spirent products and license management. This Terraform module deploys the Spirent AION AMI on AWS using your spirentaion.com account.

After terraform apply finishes you will be able to point your browser at the instance_public_ips addresses to use the platform or perform additional configuration.

Set enable_provisioner=false to run the configuration wizard manually in a web browser. Otherwise, when enable_provisioner=true login to https://<your_public_ip> using the values of admin_email and admin_password.

See product configuration for automated and manual configuration details.

Prerequisites

• AWS user credentials (environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID & AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
• Accept Spirent AION AMI product subscription on AWS Marketplace
• Create an EC2 key pair on AWS for SSH access and private key file

Terraform examples

Add License Entitlements

1. From Settings navigate to License Manager, Entitlements
2. Click Install Entitlements
3. Use one of the following methods to add entitlements (#1 is prefered)
   1. Login to <your_org>.spirentaion.com and select entitlements to host in the new instance
      Note: Hosted entitlements should be released before destroying the instance. As a convenience terraform destroy will unhost remaining entitlements. However, if instance state is manually manipulated you may need to contact Spirent support to release entitlements for you.
   2. Install a license entitlement file obtained from Spirent support

Add Products

1. From Settings navigate to Settings, Add New Products
2. Click Install New Products
3. Select products and versions and click Install
