Intended Audience and Documentation Overview

This Getting Started guide is intended for anyone who needs to install, configure, or manage the Stromasys Charon emulators in the AWS cloud. It can be used as a starting point for installations that use the prepackaged Charon marketplace images available on the AWS Cloud marketplace, or when creating a Linux server in the cloud for a conventional RPM installation of Charon emulator products. A general working knowledge of Linux and its conventions is expected.

Therefore, you will find that some of the content is not applicable to your product. The focus of the document is on the common aspects of implementing a Charon emulator in the AWS cloud.
  • The descriptions in this Getting Started guide are for Charon host systems running a supported Linux operating system. Windows host systems are not within the scope of this guide.
