Server Setup in Amazon EC2/Amazon S3
If you have an Aspera consumption-based entitlement, the server can be installed on an instance in Amazon EC2/Amazon S3 and run as a self-managed, cloud-based server that enables high-speed transfers with your Amazon S3 storage.
Prerequisites:
- You have Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 subscriptions. Using the IAM service is optional but recommended.
- You can login to your Amazon EC2 instance as an administrator, either through a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Powershell command line. For instructions, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/connecting_to_windows_instance.html. Your instance must be configured to allow inbound RDP traffic.
