Cloud Services Management V1.1.0 Operation Guide

2.8.1 AWS

The information necessary to use a virtual machine is as shown below.

The following information is sent to platform providers through a deployment completion email for each virtual machine.

Information	Description
The IP address of the virtual machine	A private IP address.
Login user ID	The user name of the OS administrator of the virtual machine.
Key Pair Name	A key pair created by platform providers after a platform is created is used. For each OS type of virtual machine, a key pair is used for the following purposes: For Windows Notification of the initial password encrypted using the public key of the key pair is received from AWS. The initial password can be obtained by decrypting it using the private key of the key pair. For Linux Use the private key of the key pair for SSH login authentication.

Operation of Key Pairs

The following is an operation example of a key pair used by platform providers for each task.

1. In the [Platform Management] window of the Cloud Management portal, a platform provider selects the menu for AWS and requests the addition of a platform.

2. After addition of the platform is completed, a platform provider selects the platform added using the [Platform Management] window and then creates a key pair from the [Platform Details] window.

3. A notification email of creation completion of the key pair is sent to the email address linked with the platform.

4. A platform provider downloads the key pair from the [Platform Details] window and stores it in a secure location.

Note

When [Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration] is enabled in a Windows Sever environment, it may not be possible to download files using Internet Explorer.

Accessing Virtual Machines

Depending on the OS type, use the following methods to access a virtual machine:

1. For Windows

   1. The IP address of the virtual machine, login user ID, and the initial password encrypted using the public key of the key pair are sent to platform providers through a deployment completion email sent for each virtual machine.

   2. If the key pair has not been downloaded, download it from the [Platform Details] window and then decrypt the initial password encrypted using the private key of the key pair.

   3. Use the information of the login user ID and the decrypted initial password to log in to the virtual machine.

   See

   For details on how to decrypt the initial password, refer to the published documents on AWS.

2. For Linux

   1. Platform providers are notified of the IP address of the virtual machine, login user ID, and key pair name through a deployment completion email sent for each virtual machine.

   2. Confirm that the key pair name displayed in the [Platform Details] window matches the notified key pair name.

   3. If the key pair has not been downloaded, download it from the [Platform Details] window.

   4. Log in to the notified IP address using a command supporting SSH communication or a terminal emulator, entering the notified user name and the private key of the key pair.
