Status
Jan 2017: Effort by Chemistry IT to move "all" admin systems to AWS, off of aging hardware (off-warranty: Coming up to ~4 years old).
CIT Cloudification Team's "ticket" (they use Jira):
- [Cornell - JIRA] Commented (CLOUD-518) Chemistry - pilot migrate Windows server to AWS
Link to CIT’s Amazon AWS documentation:
Servers
Server #1: Windows
Consolidate services running in different VMs now:
- License server
- MAC address must be static. CIT's info: I wanted to follow up to give you an answer to the question about MAC addresses and how they work at AWS for your FlexLM license server. In short, the MAC address of the NIC associated with your instance stays static. This address stays even after a reboot or a stop/start. So you’d have to spin up a Windows instance at AWS, get the MAC address, update your FlexLM license, and then migrate the license serving function. At that point you should be all set.
- Eastern printer server
- Maybe: DeepFreeze server
Server #2: Windows
Stockroom App's Windows server
- Intuit QuickBooks. Accessed via RDP.
Server #3: Linux
Stockroom App's Linux server
