3.3.5. Setting up automatic registration on AWS gold images
You can deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) virtual machines (VMs) more efficiently on Amazon Web Services (AWS) by using gold images of RHEL. This ensures that the VMs are automatically registered to the Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM).
Prerequisites
- You have created a Red Hat account.
- You have signed up and set up an AWS account.
You have downloaded the latest RHEL gold image for AWS. For details, see Using gold images on AWS.
참고You can only attach an AWS account to a single Red Hat account at a time. Therefore, ensure no other users require access to the AWS account before attaching it to your Red Hat one.
Procedure
Upload the gold image to AWS. For details, see one of the following:
- Create VMs by using the uploaded image. If your RHSM settings are correct, they will be automatically subscribed to RHSM.
Verification
In a RHEL VM created using the above instructions, verify the system is registered to RHSM by executing the
subscription-manager identitycommand. On a successfully registered system, this displays the UUID of the system. For example:# subscription-manager identity system identity: fdc46662-c536-43fb-a18a-bbcb283102b7 name: 192.168.122.222 org name: 6340056 org ID: 6340056
