Prerequisites

Before being able to install and set up IoT Bridge you must have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. If you do not already have one you can create one here.

Summary

This process covers installing the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge AMI into an AWS account as an EC2 instance. For reference, the Sparkplug SiteWise Bridge Cloud Formation Template used to build the AWS infrastructure is here - ssb.yaml. Note this yaml file does not need to be used for anything. It is here purely for reference to show exactly what is done during the cloud formation deployment.

IoT Bridge Installation

Before deploying IoT Bridge you must create create an AWS EC2 key pair which will ultimately allow you to SSH into the EC2 instance that gets created as part of the process. Information on how to create the key pair can be found here. The key pair must be created in the AWS Region that you intend to deploy IoT Bridge into.

...

After the AWS Infrastructure has been deployed via the AWS Marketplace 1-click procedure, the application must be configured. In order to configure the application you must be able to access the EC2 instance via SSH. Information on accessing the EC2 instance via SSH can be found here. Additional details on the filesystem layout of this EC2 instance can be found here.
