Creating an AMI import configuration file

In your local machine, create a containers.json file with the following contents.

[
  {
    "Description": "Entrust PKIaaS Virtual Machine AMI file",
    "Format": "ova",
    "UserBucket": {
  	  "S3Bucket": "$AWS_S3_BUCKET",
      "S3Key": "$OVA_FILE"
    }
  }
]

In the file contents, replace:

$AWS_S3_BUCKET with the name of the S3 bucket described in Creating an S3 bucket for the PKIaaS Virtual Machine.
$OVA_FILE with the name of the OVA file selected when Uploading the OVA file of the PKIaaS Virtual Machine to AWS.

For example:

[
  {
    "Description": "Entrust PKIaaS Virtual Machine AMI file",
    "Format": "ova",
  	"UserBucket": {
    	"S3Bucket": "pkiaas-vm",
    	"S3Key": "pkiaas-vm-prod-us.ova"
  	}
  }
]
