This topic lists the steps to launch a non-clustered instance of JBoss EAP on a Red Hat AMI (Amazon Machine Image).

  • A suitable Red Hat AMI. Refer to Supported Red Hat AMIs.
  • A pre-configured Security Group that allows incoming requests on at least ports 22, 8080, and 9990.

Launch a Non-Clustered JBoss EAP Instance

Note

You can connect to an EC2 instance through ssh as a ec2-user user. If you need administrative privileges, you can change to root later For example, 

$ ssh -l ec2-user ${INSTANCE_PUBLIC_IP}

  • Launch the Red Hat AMI instance.

    A non-clustered instance of JBoss EAP has been configured, and launched on a Red Hat AMI.

  • To configure JBoss EAP, you can pass arguments to the service directly. Some arguments may not be handled in this way. The location of the service configuration files is:

    • RHEL 6: /etc/sysconfig/eap7-standalone
    • RHEL 7: /etc/opt/rh/eap7/wildfly/eap7-standalone.conf
    Note
    • For system path details, see System Paths.
    • For complex configuration, you can either use the standalone.conf file in the JBoss EAP bin directory: /opt/rh/eap7/root/usr/share/wildfly/bin/, or you can start the JBoss EAP service and configure the server using CLI. The script can be found in the bin directory. Then, reload the configuration.
    • yum -y update should be run regularly, to apply security fixes and enhancements.

  • To start JBoss EAP on RHEL 6, run the following command: 

    $ service eap7-standalone start

    To start JBoss EAP on RHEL 7, run the following command: 

    $ systemctl start eap7-standalone

  • To stop JBoss EAP, run the following command: 

    $ service eap7-standalone stop

    Or 

    $ systemctl stop eap7-standalone

Note

systemctl command is relevant to only RHEL 7.

Note

If you want to bind JBoss EAP to a different IP address, add the following line in the /etc/opt/rh/eap7/wildfly/eap7-standalone.conf file on RHEL 7. The internal IP address is translated into a public IP address by EC2.
