With the AMI for IBM Industry Application Platform available for AWS, content can only be served from one single server running the AMI at a time. Review the AWS Customer Agreement and license information for a full set of requirements and restrictions that apply to IBM Industry Application Platform. Generally, when you set up these AMI instances on AWS you choose Elastic Block Storage (EBS) as the storage option. EBS provides a persistent store. If your live AWS instance fails, you can start a new instance and reuse the existing EBS storage to restore your server. Your resources within the AMI (WebSphere Web site, DB2 Express-C databases and WebSphere MQ Queue Manager and queues/topics) are not available from the time the AWS instance fails to the time the new AMI instance starts and you reconfigure the AMI. This process takes several minutes, depending on the specific configuration of the AWS instance.
