Issue/Introduction

Is the App Control Server Supported in AWS (Amazon Web Services) , GCP (Google Cloud Platform), and Microsoft Azure?

Environment

• App Control Server: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft Windows Server: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft SQL Server: All Supported Versions
• Amazon Web Services
• Google Cloud Platform
• Microsoft Azure

Resolution

Yes, the App Control Server can be installed in a cloud environment. Some considerations for this type of deployment would include:

• Specific SKU's from the cloud provider would be required to meet the disk throughput
  • Review: TechDocs > Server OER > App Control Server Architecture by Endpoint Count
• Disk Throughput (and all other OER requirements) should be confirmed with the cloud provider before implementation.
  
  • Review: Validating or Testing SQL Server Disk Performance
• Existing installations would follow the migration process.
• Using a SQL Platform as a Service (PaaS) is currently not supported.

Additional Information

• The Server OER and SQL Server Configuration Guides should be reviewed in their entirety prior to installation and deployment.
• These items are located within Tech Docs under "Carbon Black App Control Server".
