Deploy InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on a Cloud Node

Deploy InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on a Cloud Node

To deploy Community Edition on a public cloud node, do the following:

  1. Log in to your Google Public Cloud, Amazon Web Services, or Microsoft Azure account. If neither you nor your employer have one yet, you can go to the GCPOpens in a new tab, AWSOpens in a new tab, or AzureOpens in a new tab portal page to quickly create a free account. Select or create a project (GCP), an IAM user and credentials (AWS), or a resource group (Azure).

  2. Go to the cloud provider’s marketplace page and search for InterSystems IRIS.

  3. On the listing page, click Launch (GCP), Continue to Subscribe (AWS), or Create (Azure), follow the prompts and fill in the required fields, then click Deploy when ready.

    Note:

    On Azure, to simplify making SSH connections to the cloud node, find the Administrator account section at the bottom of the Basics tab on the Create a virtual machine page, select Password for Authentication type, and enter a username and password.

    On AWS, for a more streamlined experience, choose Launch through EC2 at the first prompt on the Launch this software page. (If you continue on the website, at the Security Group Settings drop-down, be sure to select Create New Based On Seller Settings.)

That’s it! You are the proud owner of an InterSystems IRIS Community Edition instance on a cloud node. The instance comes with a free built-in license that expires a year after the product version’s release date, as well as a production-enabledOpens in a new tab USER namespace (there are also some limitations).

Once your node is deployed, go to the page listing your nodes — Compute Engine > VM Instances (GCP), EC2 > Running instances (AWS), or Virtual machines (Azure) — then continue with the instructions in Explore Your InterSystems IRIS Instance.
