Subnets

Private You should place as many of your resources as possible into private subnets. This ensures that your resources are not publicly accessible, greatly reducing the attack surface. Resources that should be placed in private subnets include: Elastic Compute (EC2) instances Elastic Container Service (ECS) cluster Relational Database Service (RDS) database Elastic File System (EFS) volumes Note: Resources in a private subnet are not only unreachable by the internet but cannot make outbound internet requests. You need to create a public Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway and route subnet traffic through that NAT Gateway to give resources outbound internet access. Public Amazon defines public subnets as subnets having a route table that directs traffic to an internet gateway. You will need to create a route table with a route to the internet gateway, then associate your public subnets to that route table. There are some resources that must be placed in a public subnet. For instanc

Internet Gateway

You will need an internet gateway attached to your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to allow your resources to be reached over the internet. Resources in a subnet with a route table containing an internet gateway become publicly accessible. Parent topic: Networking

Security Groups

To add more fine grained control over traffic, AWS also adds security groups to many resources which act as a virtual firewall. The following resources have security groups which need configuring: RDS Database Allow inbound on port 5432 for traffic originating from the Mirth® Connect cluster CIDR blocks ECS Cluster Allow inbound for each port or for a range of ports for traffic originating from the load balancer CIDR blocks Parent topic: Networking

Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway

NAT Gateways can be public or private. In this case, you will need the NAT Gateway to provide outbound access to Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare and the ECS cluster service. Because of this, the NAT gateway must be placed in a public subnet, configured for public connectivity, and allocated to an elastic IP. Parent topic: Networking

In Settings enter the following: DB Instance Identifier - prod-mirthdb Master Username - postgres (username for your database such as admin, dev, qatest, etc..) Master Password - XXXXXX (Password for your database) DB Instance Size - The DB instance class determines the computation and memory capacity of an Amazon RDS database instance. The database instance class you need depends on your processing power and me
