Overview

To create a KeyControl node in AWS, you need to launch a Entrust KeyControl for AWS instance and then configure that instance using SSH.

After the first KeyControl node is configured, you can then add additional nodes from other AWS availability zones or regions, or from other environments such as VMware vSphere or Microsoft Azure. All configuration information from the first node is copied to any subsequent nodes that you add to the cluster.

To create a KeyControl cluster in AWS, perform the following tasks:

Step	Task	Details
1	Launch a Entrust KeyControl for AWS instance that will become the initial KeyControl node in the cluster.	Deploying the First KeyControl Node.
2	Associate an Elastic IP (EIP) address with the instance.	Associating an Elastic IP Address with the KeyControl Instance.
3	Configure the first KeyControl node and initialize the KeyControl webGUI.	Configuring the First KeyControl Node.
4	If desired, deploy additional KeyControl nodes in AWS.	Deploying Additional KeyControl Nodes.
5	Configure the additional nodes and join them to the existing cluster.	Configuring Additional KeyControl Nodes.
