Build Output for Amazon EC2 Virtual Appliances

InstallAnywhere 2022

The following image is an example of the contents of a typical InstallAnywhere output directory for an Amazon EC2 virtual appliance:

Appliance Build Output Directory

Build Results File: ApplianceBuildResults.txt

In addition to the build log, each appliance build produces a file named ApplianceBuildResults.txt in the build output directory for each appliance configuration. The contents of this file gives a glimpse of the results of the appliance builds.

Example for an Amazon Appliance Build with Deployment Enabled

Build Results

    Build Output Location = location_of_built_AMI

Deployment Results

    AMI ID = ami_id

    Key Pair = name_of_keypair

    Key Pair Location = location_of_key_pair

    Instance ID = instance_id

    Instance Public IP = public_IP_of_instance

    Instance Public DNS = public_DNS_of_instance

    Instance Private IP = private_IP_of_instance

    Instance Private DNS = private_DNS_of_instance

    Appliance URL = URL_of_appliance

Important:The key pair information is very important. This key pair is used to log in to this instance for any maintenance activity. Losing this key pair will render the deployed instance inaccessible to the user.

Example for an Amazon Appliance Build with Deployment Disabled
