Preparing for a New Installation ​

This section explains how to prepare to install and run Yellowbrick software in an AWS VPC. The installer creates various objects in order to deploy Yellowbrick services in your account. Prior to starting the install, you need to make sure your AWS account is set up correctly, acquire AWS quotas and resources, and do some network configuration.

You can do a public network install into a new VPC that the installer creates for you, or a private network install into an existing VPC that you provide before starting the installation. For example, your organization may have a hub-and-spoke environment, in which the "hub VPC" is at the corporate level, and a number of private "spoke VPCs" are created for individual applications, such as Yellowbrick. In this scenario, you can access the spoke VPC only via a connection to the hub VPC.

Important: If you are going to create your own VPC for the express purpose of installing and running Yellowbrick inside a private network, the VPC must adhere to a number of prerequisites, as described under Prerequisites for Private Network Installs. These prerequisites are configurable items that must be provisioned before the Yellowbrick installer is run.
