Specifying AWS parameters

If you are using AWS infrastructure, set the required parameters during IBM® Cloud Private Cloud Foundry installation.

Before you begin: Follow the initial steps in Amazon Web Services Opens in a new tab to set up your environment before you start the installation.

You can find a template file for AWS in the following location: /<installation_configuration_directory>/extensions/embedded/cfp-bosh-templates/uiconfig_aws_template.yml. Copy this file to your installation directory and modify it. Replace the default and sample values with the actual values for your particular environment.

The following example parameters apply only to AWS. You can also use common parameters. For more information, see Specifying common parameters.
