Newbie to Scalr : VPC

[swamybabu b]

Hi,

Can someone share more details on how to get the following done? 

Note: All the question are related to AWS and Scalr only

[1] During the "Role" creation, Scalr lets me select default VPC but, if I want to create the private subnet for my servers then how to get that done? I didn't find any quick UI option for the same. Am I missing something here?

[2] Is there a way that I can get a server with multiple network interfaces where I would like to control subnet information?

[3] Is there a way that Scalr provides for me to play around with VPC routing table?

Thanks,

SWAMY

Another followup question is :

I was trying to create a role where I tried to select t2.* as instance type and it is greyed out saying "Compatible with VPC roles only"? Can you someone help please on how to create VPC role?

Swamy,

Good questions. I know because these were problems I had when I first started using AWS and Scalr.

ROLE CREATION AND SUBNETS

I created the VPC and 8 subnets (4 public, 4 private) using Terraform. My next step was to go into "Governance" in the environment and work with the "AWS | VPC". There you can set the region(s) and then select the "Allowed VPCs".  So, after selecting a VPC you can configure "".  In my case, I gave my users access to 1 public and 1 private subnet. I did this so they did not ask me questions about which subnet is best.  

Finally, you create the Farm and Farm Role. This is where your question was. When creating the Farm, you should select the VPC.  When creating the farm the Farm-Role the you select the subnet.

MULTIPLE INTERFACES

In the Farm-Role, look at the "Network" Tab.

SCALR TO CONTROL VPC ROUTING

No, there isn't a way to do that with Scalr.  You can build a NAT instance, but beyond that you may want to use a tool like Terraform to control routes, gateway, firewall rules, etc.

GREYED OUT T2.(burstable)

Not all AMIs will run on T2. instance types.  You'll need to make sure they are EBS/HVM.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jay for your response. I will try the same and update the thread.
