Create a Deployment Environment for AWS Subscription
Follow the steps mentioned in this chapter to create a new environment in NCache Cloud Portal.
From the NCache Cloud Portal, go to Subscription Dashboard by clicking the Home button.
Click on Deployment Environments. You will see the following screen:
Click on the Create New Environment option.
This will open up a Create New Environment form.
While creating an environment, you have two choices: whether you want to create an environment and deploy NCache activated machines in it all through the NCache Cloud Portal or you want to create an environment through NCache Cloud Portal but want to deploy machines manually. The Deploy Servers section of the form shown above is where you can choose from these two options.
- Go to Environment Creation for Auto deployment of Servers if you want NCache cloud server to automatically deploy NCache activated machines in your environment or follow the steps in Environment Creation for Manual Deployment of Servers if you want to manually deploy servers through AWS.
Environment Creation for Auto Deployment of Servers
Prerequisite:

From AWS Marketplace, go to NCache Enterprise .NET/Enterprise .NET Core/Professional software.
Click on the Continue to Subscribe button.
On the redirected page, you will be asked to Subscribe to this software. Read the Alachisoft Offer under Terms and Conditions and click on Accept Terms.
If subscribed successfully, you will be notified with:
Thank you for subscribing to this product! You can now configure your software.
Till here is enough for you to gain the rights required to deploy AWS machines through NCache Cloud Portal.
Go back to NCache Cloud Portal where you had the Create New Environment form.
Fill out the Environment Name, Environment Type, and License Type fields in the Create New Environment form.
For Deploy Servers Now, select Yes to deploy servers through NCache Cloud Portal.
Select the Region in which you want to deploy the servers.
Select the VPC from the dropdown list under which you want to deploy NCache servers.
Select your Internet Gateway from the populated list.
Select the latest NCache Version.
Add the Number of Servers and Number of Clients that you want to deploy in your environment. The number of clients must be greater than 2.
Select the Server Size.
Check the Assign Public IP To Servers checkbox if you want to automatically assign public IP addresses to the deployed machines.
- Click on Review + Create to review the basic information of the environment to be created. Click on Create.
This will create a deployment environment with the servers deployed in NCache cloud server. These deployed servers already have latest NCache version installed in them.
You can go to Environments > View All to view your newly created environment.

To increase the number of servers, go to your environment and click on Edit Environment.
Access Auto Deployed Servers
Follow AWS guide on Connect EC2 Instance to get acquainted with methods of how to access an instance.

- Under the Servers tag, find your machine's IP and go to its details by clicking the See Details button.
- Among the shown information, you will find User name and Password. These are the credentials that are required to remote access the machine.
