Trafodion Sandbox on Amazon Web Services

You can test and evaluate Apache Trafodion (incubating) in a cloud environment using an instantly available Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides a complete version of the product on one single node.

Here are the simple steps to follow:

  1. Go to Trafodion Sandbox in the Amazon Marketplace (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B018RBMFG0).
  2. Follow the instructions to create your own Virtual Machine.
  3. Connect using SSH, username centos.
  4. Once connected, follow the on-screen instructions to connect through VNC (Virtual Network Computing).

If you do not wish to use VNC, then do the following:

  1. Switch to the traf_dev user in your SSH session.
  2. Use the sqcheck command to make sure that Trafodion has started. This may take a short while after booting.
  3. Use the trafci command-line interpreter to access Trafodion.

Example

sudo -u traf_dev -i
sqcheck
trafci

If you want to use the web-based management interfaces without VNC, then you need to open additional ports in the machine’s security group. Refer to Port Assignment (http://trafodion.apache.org/port-assignment.html) for details.
