# Create WEKA AWS Cluster

###  Overview
Creating the clusters will be done with [WEKA CDM](https://cloud.weka.io). This will generate a Terraform file that is used to create the WEKA cluster.  

**Prerequisites**

- Admin Access in AWS
- WEKA CDM access
- Experience with Terraform

### CDM Generate Config

1.  In [WEKA CDM](https://cloud.weka.io) choose **AWS**

```{image} ./images/cdm.png

:class: zoomable
:alt: CDM
```

2.  Fill out the required fields on the Basic page that don't have defaults
    - Cluster Name
    - Region **us-east-1**

```{image} ./images/aws_cdm_basic.png
:width: 50%
:class: zoomable
:alt: CDM Basic
```

3.  On the Network Configuration page 
    - Change "Create VPC and Subnet" to **Yes**
    - Zone **us-east-1a**
    - Change "Assign Public IP" to **Yes**

```{note}
We are assigning a public IP in the lab so we can connect remotely.
```

```

4.  On the Security Configuration page change 
    - Change "Create Security Group" to **Yes**
    - On "Allowable CIDR for TCP Port 22 Access" add **0.0.0.0/0**
    - On "Allowable CIDR for TCP Port 14000 Access" add **0.0.0.0/0**
    - Configure Key Pair to **Yes**
    - Key Pair Configuration **Terraform auto create**

```{note}
We are using 0.0.0.0/0 in the lab so we can connect remotely. In a production deployment these should be set to valid ranges.
```

5.  On the Clients page change 
    - Change "Deploy WEKA stateless clients" to **yes**
    - Set "Number of Clients to **3**.
    - Change :Machine Type of Clients" to **C5.2xlarge**

6.  On the right hand side download the generated Terraform file

```

### Create Cluster 

7.  Run **terrafrom init** and **terraform apply**.  You should get an output simialr to the below.

```{image} ./images/aws_tf_output.png

```

<!--
8.  Once Terrform completes you will need to logon to the **Azure Portal** and add an inbound **14000** rule to your SG.
