Step 3: Configure EC2 Instance
Fill in Fulfillment Option, Software Version, and Region like the screen described below, and click “Continue to Launch”.
When you see Launch this Software page, you can pre-check how to connect to the launched instance by clicking Usage Instructions. Select “Launch through EC2” in Choose Action, and click “Launch”.
After that, you can choose between launching AWS instance for AgensGraph without additional configuration steps (in this case, all options will be set to AWS default) or moving onto configuration pages before launching your instance.
But first, you finally need to choose the type of your instance. If you are new to AWS, you can run a free instance for 12-months by choosing free tier instance (t2.micro).
Or, you can choose an instance type you prefer, of course you will be hourly charged for using it, and in this case, an instance that Bitnine recommends for stability and performance (m4.large).
After completing configuration steps from Step 3 (Configure Instance Details) to Step 6 (Configure Security Group) on the EC2 management console page according to your environment (or you can just jump onto the final review stage for the launch skipping configuration steps by clicking Review and Launch button), you will review all configurations for the instance before the launch.

Step 4: Launch EC2 Instance
You need to create a private key file (e.g: bitnine_marketing_keypair.pem) to ensure a secure connection to the instance.
Choose “create a new key pair” if you do not have a previous key file. Put some nice name onto your new private key file and download it by clicking “Download Key Pair” and save the downloaded file to a secure place in your local environment.
It is used every time you connect to the instance, so you should be aware of the location of this private key file. Click Launch Instances to continue.
If there is no issue in previous steps, you will see the below screen showing that your instance is successfully launched.
To connect to the instance, click View Instances button on the bottom-left side of the page for opening up EC2 Management Console.
The information and status of your instance are shown on the management console page, and if you click “Connect” button, a screen pops up for explaining how to connect to the instance.

Step 5: Connect to Instance and Launch AgensGraph
As the final step, it is time to see the User Guide for Linux Instances to connect to the instance from your local environment. If you use Windows OS you need to install SSH client like PuTTY, generate .ppk file from your stored .pem file, and then connect to the instance server as directed.
Following the directions in the help document right above, you may connect to the instance as user name “ubuntu,” which is a similar user account to “root.”
Once you successfully connected to your EC2 instance, now you can run AgensGraph server by following the instructions in Usage Instructions tab on EC2 Management Console page.
Of course, here I set the permission level of ag-env.sh file to 777 but it should be set differently by your environment. Test some simple queries to verify AgensGraph is working normally, and it is done.
If you want to connect to the instance from other accounts than “ubuntu,” please refer to this document to proceed. If there is any question about each step for using AgensGraph on AWS described in this post, please mail your inquiry to agens@bitnine.net.
