Getting Started
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers several services that enable you to build anything from a
one off development box to a full size production site that is highly available. Commerce Server
Cloud Starter Edition is available in the Amazon Marketplace as a prepackaged EC2 image.
Alternatively, you can bring your own license for Commerce Server 10.1 to a M1 Medium or
larger instance running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012.

System Requirements
Before you install and configure Commerce Server, ensure that your system meets the following
minimum hardware and software requirements.
Area
Software
AMIs using SQL Express are prohibited from production environments. No product support
of any kind is available for this image.
Renaming a Machine
Changing a machines name (within Windows) after it is deployed is non-trivial and should be
avoided. Use an elastic IP assigned to the machine to allow other machines to easily reference
your Commerce Server instance.
7
Take a snapshot when the solution is not performing operations the volume.
The solution contains everything on a single EBS volume. Taking a snapshot in this
configuration requires a service outage as the machine is stopped for the backup.
For uninterrupted operation of the machine, mount a separate volume that contains all the
data that requires backup (SQL backups for instance). At backup time, detach the volume,
run a snapshot, and reattach it, allowing your machine to continue without interruption. This
setup allows you to take advantage of the tools and services native to AWS EBS volumes.
