We are setting up a Maximo Mobile development environment on an AWS EC2 instance and need guidance on selecting the right instance type and operating system.

What would be the recommended EC2 instance type to have the docker engine installed and MAF setup subsequently.

Also, should I use Windows or Linux, and which version would be best suited for this setup? Any insights from those who have done similar deployments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Meghana,

You will need a Linux EC2 because you can't install docker on a VM.

The sizing will depend on the number of developers working on this instance, but the minimum is 4 CPUs and 16GB RAM.

In the multiple developers scenario, each developer will need a Docker container with their workspace. Assuming that each container can consume a minimum of 8 GB RAM (it's more when publishing an app), you can add CPU and memory accordingly.

Hi Maycon ,

Thanks for your response.

May I know which distro would be suggested for Linux OS (Ubuntu or Red hat for the MAF setup )

Ubuntu works just fine. No need to pay for RHEL license.
