How does LANSA in the Cloud Work?

• A LANSA stack is created by AWS Cloud Formation using two templates supplied by LANSA, the Master template and the Web Server template.
• The Master template describes the whole stack apart from the actual Web Server in which LANSA runs, for example Load Balancer, Database instance, Security Groups, etc. The user may modify the parameters in a simple user interface.
• The LANSA Scalable AMI is a machine image containing all the prerequisites for installing a LANSA MSI, including a scalable license. The license can be obtained through AWS Marketplace which charges the user per hour for using the AMI. The license allows any LANSA product to be run.
• Pre-installed parts in the AMI to speed up provisioning.
• When the Stack is fully provisioned, the URL of the Load Balancer is provided.
