In fact, we use CloudFormation as well as other AWS services within <A href="http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDCloudAWS/HDCloudAWS-1.8.0/bk_hdcloud-aws/content/index.html">Hortonworks Data Cloud for AWS</A> (HDC) today: </P><UL><LI>Amazon EC2 is used to launch virtual machines. </LI><LI>Amazon VPC is used to provision your own dedicated virtual network and launch resources into that network. </LI><LI>AWS Identity &amp; Access Management is used to control access to AWS services and resources. </LI><LI>AWS CloudFormation is used to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources. </LI><LI>AWS Lambda is a utility service for running code in AWS. This service is used when deploying the cloud controller into a new VPC to validate if the VPC and subnet specified exist and if the subnet belongs to that VPC. </LI><LI>Amazon S3 provides secure, durable, and highly scalable cloud storage.</LI><LI> Amazon RDS provides a relational database in AWS. This service is used for managing reusable, shared Hive Metastores and as a configuration option when launching the cloud controller.</LI></UL><P>With a formal Hortonworks Subscription in force, Hortonworks will support any HDP cluster that was provisioned through Ambari, regardless of how that provisioning process was scripted. If using our Hortonworks Data Cloud <A href="https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01LXOQBOU">Controller</A> and <A href="https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01M193KGR">HDP Services</A> sold through the Amazon Marketplace, then Hortonworks provides and supports the CloudFormation scripts as well.</P><P>Save yourself some time, and check out HDC first!</P> Tue, 03 Jan 2017 02:04:00 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/CloudFormation-to-deploy-HDP-in-AWS-IaaS/m-p/107117#M50535 tmccuch 2017-01-03T02:04:00Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/CloudFormation-to-deploy-HDP-in-AWS-IaaS/m-p/107118#M50536 <P><A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/15070/viveksharma.html" nodeid="15070">@Vivek Sharma</A> If this answer helps, please accept it.
