For the last few posts Laurent Domb has been explaining how to squeeze CloudForms and AWS integration by teaching you how to:

Upload the CF images to AWS
Create all the needed config files in AWS
Deploy CF on AWS
Configure the new in 4.6 SmartState Analysis (SSA)
Use that SSA to add a compliance policy to an instance
Use AWS authentication in CF

CloudForms in AWS part 5 (authentication)

Posted on: April 4, 2018April 8, 2018

Laurent Domb, Red Hat

If you want to use IAM authentication for CloudForms so that IAM users can authenticate with CFME you need to do the following.

The current code requires you to add root (account owner credentials) to the authentication field. So the Access key and the Secret Key are from the root user, not the IAM user.

We all know that sometimes we need some help with any tool we want to set up, and in CloudForms we are having such a great momentum because we included Ansible Automation Inside as a way to facilitate our users to interact and create custom action in CloudForms using it (as we covered previously on the Ansible Series)

In this post of our series, we will demonstrate what we did in the previous sections in which we configured AWS and CloudForms, to run a SmartStaty analysis to automatically resolve a vulnerability in Java

In the video, I will:

Perform a SmartState Analysis (SSA) in my instance
Review the SSA process
Add a compliance policy to the instance
Execute the policy
Verify the remediation action
Validate the auto-remediation

Giovanni Fontana, Consultant, Red Hat

In this article, we describe how High Availability (HA) works natively in Red Hat CloudForms. The mechanism uses PostgreSQL feature, and does not require external tools like Virtual IP (VIP), HAProxy, or Load Balancer. We will use a two-node active/passive architecture as an example to investigate what is happening when failover occurs.
