Launch AWS AMI.

You can find the latest Taskforce.sh AMI on-premise product on the AWS Marketplace. All versions are listed here.

Simply follow the configuration steps provided by the AWS Marketplace and launch the instance.

It is convenient to create a new security group directly on the launch configuration wizard:

Note that by convenience the source IP is 0.0.0.0/0, however you can later restrict sources to narrow ranges, like only the loadbalancer used for routing the traffic to the instance for example.

You can also optionally create the security group after the AMI has been launched:

Create two inbound rules, one for accessing the config tool and the other for accessing the Taskforce.sh dashboard itself.

We are allowing all sources in this guide, but probably you will only want to allow a loadbalancer as source and configure TLS endpoints for production security.

You will also need to manually add an outbound rule, which normally is created automatically if using the wizard:

Finalize by creating the security group.

Go back to your instance and choose "modify security groups":

Add the new security group and save.
