1-Click Launch (predefined settings):
#Select the "Region" to deploy the instance and the EC2 Instance Type depending on your needs (Note: the price is different for different regions).
#In VPC settings, select where your instance will be deployed: EC2 classic (recommended) or your personal Virtual Private Cloud. If the VPC network is selected, please make sure that your virtual network is configured to provide internet access to the instance is being deployed. The main differences between EC2-classic and VPC are described in [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-vpc.html Amazon EC2 and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)]. Find more information about VPC in the [http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/vpc/ Amazon VPC documentation].#Select the default options or create a new Security Group based on seller settings. Pay special attention to the ports that are required for Plesk - see Knowledgebase article [http://kb.odin.com/en/391 KB391: Which ports need to be opened for all Plesk services to work with a firewall?]#Select the Key Pair to be used for connection to the instance (an existing Key Pair is required for connection to the OpenVZ instance). A Key Pair can be generated in the [https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec AWS Management Console].
#Click the Launch with 1-Click button.
By default, instances are deployed with small root storage (30 GB). It allows you deploy around 10 containers depends on container OS and installed packages. To deploy instances with bigger storage, use Manual Launch with EC2 console.
To change the disk storage after deployment, check the Amazon AWS documentation: [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-expand-volume.html Expanding the Storage Space of a Volume].
Manual Launch with EC2 console (adjust additional settings such as disk space before launch):
#Click the Launch with EC2 Console button in the Region the instance is to be deployed.
#In the opened EC2 Console, choose an Instance Type depending on your requirements. Then, click the Next: Configure Instance Details button.
#Set instance details. Here, you can select how many instances to deploy and select a Network (EC2-classic or VPC).If the VPC network is selected, please make sure that your virtual network is configured to provide internet access to the instance is being deployed. The main differences between EC2-classic and VPC are described in [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-vpc.html Amazon EC2 and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)]. Find more information about VPC in the [http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/vpc/ Amazon VPC documentation].
#Change other options if required, then click Next: Add Storage
#Add storage to your instance. It is recommended that you increase your disk storage from the default values - your disk will be automatically resized when the instance is deployed. To change disk storage after deployment, check the Amazon AWS documentation: [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-expand-volume.html Expanding the Storage Space of a Volume]. You can also add more storages to your instance and change the storage volume types to increase performance. Find more information about the storage type and pricing in the Amazon AWS documentaion: [http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/details/ Amazon EBS Product Details]. Click Next: Tag Instance
#Add Tags for the instance. For example, you can define a tag with key = Name and value = openvz. Learn more about tagging your Amazon EC2 resources. Click Next: Configure Security Group
#Configure the security group. A security group is a set of firewall rules that control the traffic for your instance. It is recommended that you configure the security group depending on services you are going to serve. You can find the basic recommendations here https://openvz.org/Setting_up_an_iptables_firewall. Click Next: Review Instance Launch
When the instance is deployed, click the Visit Your Software link. The page with your subscription will be opened.
Select [https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/ Manage in the AWS console]. In the opened AWS Management Console, open your instances list (using the Instances link in the left menu) and select the instance.
(Recommended) After every stop/start, your instance changes the external and internal IP pair. Thus we recommend to attach special Elastic IP to the instance. In the left menu, select Elastic IPs and Allocate New Address or select any existing unassociated address to be allocated to your instance. After Elastic IP attachment, reboot the instance and perform additional actions to configure Plesk (see the Changing IP Address section). Please find more information about Elastic IP on Amazon AWS documentation: [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html Elastic IP Addresses].
To connect your instance please use connection via SSH as ec2-user with the private key of the Keys Pair you deployed the instance with. For example:
