Deploy the Web Admin Console and the REST Query Service by Launching through EC2

Before you begin

Deploy Proficy Historian for AWS.

About this task

The Web Admin console is a web-based user interface, which you can use to monitor, supervise, archive, retrieve, and control data stored in the Historian server. And, the REST Query service contains APIs to fetch data from the Historian database.

This topic describes how to deploy the Web Admin console and the REST Query service using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) by launching though EC2. You can also deploy them by launching from a website.

When you deploy the AMI, you will create a key pair (or use an existing one), which will be used later to connect the Web Admin console and the REST Query service with the Historian server.
