Installing ManageIQ and AWS

This topic describes the procedure on how to install Manage IQ and create an instance on AWS.

Installing and Configuring AWS

Visit https://aws.amazon.com/console/ and log in to your AWS account.
Create a user, refer to section Creating IAM users (console) in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console.
Note:
- Make a note of the access key IDs and secret access keys. Refer step 11 of section Creating IAM users (console) in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html#id_users_create_console.
- The access key IDs and secret access keys will be used during configuring the AWS provider in ManageIQ.
Do a check and make sure that the user has full privilege to access EC2 services. Refer section Adding permissions to a user (console) in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_change-permissions.html.
Create Amazon EC2 key pairs, refer Create a key pair using Amazon EC2 in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html#having-ec2-create-your-key-pair.
Note: The key pair details will be used during configuring Maximo IT.

Install the ManageIQ in your machine (Virtual Machine (VM), AWS instance, etc). Refer https://www.manageiq.org/docs/get-started/docker.
Note: Make sure you have Docker already installed in your machine. Refer https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/ for the Docker installation.
If the ManageIQ image is not available on the Docker hub, you can pull and run the latest ManageIQ image from the Docker hub using the below command:
```
$ docker run -d -p <8443>:443 manageiq/manageiq:latest
```
Once the ManageIQ container runs successfully, you can access the ManageIQ by using your VM URL such as https://<vm_ip>:<8443>, for example, https://172.20.152.81:8443. For more details on configuring ManageIQ, refer https://www.manageiq.org/docs/get-started/basic-configuration.html.
