AWS Requirements

Review the following requirements and pre-requesities for configuring an AWS provider for use with ECX.

ECX supports the on-premise cached storage gateway. An OVA is downloaded, deployed and activated through a wizard.

See docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/on-premises-gateway-common.html for more information.

For cache and upload buffer settings, best practices are defined in the following Amazon AWS topics:

docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/managing-cache-common.html

docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/managing-upload-buffer-common.html

Once the storage gateway is created with AWS and vCenter, register the AWS provider in ECX. ECX will automatically discover the storage gateway when a job is created. Note that 32 volumes are supported per storage gateway.
