Use the Planning Worksheet for Teradata Software for AWS to prepare details of the deployment.
Complete these steps to deploy a Teradata Database system using AWS CloudFormation templates. Additional Teradata components can be deployed separately on AWS.

This procedure provides options to encrypt your data volumes and the root disk using a default CMK. See Encryption.

  1. If you have not already subscribed to the software you want to deploy, do so now.
  2. From the software launch page, click Launch with CloudFormation Console. The template URL is automatically entered under Specify an Amazon S3 template URL.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Under Specify Details, verify the stack name is unique to your region.
  5. Under Parameters, specify the values you chose in the planning worksheet, then click Next.
  6. [Optional] Under Tags, specify up to 50 unique key-value pairs for resources in your stack, allowing you to search at a later time for the resources you deployed.
  7. [Optional] Under Permissions, select an IAM role.
  8. [Optional] Under Advanced, set additional options for your stack, such as notifications and a stack policy.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Review the information and select the I acknowledge check box at the bottom.
  11. Click Create to create the stack. This process can take up to an hour, depending on your configuration.
    Trying to SSH into the instance may cause the stack creation to fail. Do not try to SSH into the instance until either CREATE_COMPLETE displays in the Status column or you receive a failure notification.
  12. [Optional] To monitor the stack creation progress, do the following:
    1. From the AWS CloudFormation console, ensure CREATE_IN_PROGRESS displays in the Status column.
    2. After the stack is created, ensure CREATE_COMPLETE displays in the Status column.
    3. From the AWS EC2 console, click Instances in the left column and ensure your instances are listed under the Name column. The name appears as the stack name followed by the node name.
  13. [Optional] To SSH into the system with the public IP/DNS of any of the nodes, type the following command: ssh -i private-key-file.pem ec2-user@instance-DNS-name or IP-address After the stack is created, Teradata Database is ready and started. No additional configuration is required. You do not need to run tdc-init or tdc-start.
  14. [BYOL only] If you receive licensing errors, see Licensing Issues.
  15. [BYOL only] Continuously monitor the AWS CloudWatch logs for errors, warnings, and alerts until you stop or terminate your instance. See Accessing AWS CloudWatch Logs (look for log group Teradata/DBS/stack-name and log stream telm_stack-name ).
Some Teradata Database features require manual installation or configuration. See Teradata Database Features.
