Hi everyone,
I'm looking to deploy a Qlik Sense site to AWS and currently exploring the QDC to do that. I went through the documentation and the different settings available when creating sites and adding nodes on AWS, but there still a few questions I couldn't find answers to in the documentation. I'd appreciate any help to address these.
- When QDC creates multi-node sites, does it create a Windows domain and add all the nodes to the domain or does it use a workgroup?
- How can one specify that the EBS volume used with the AWS instance hosting the node is encrypted?
- How can one automatically associate created proxy nodes with an AWS Elastic Load Balancer?
- Does QDC provide any backup/restore capabilities?
- What exactly is the "AWS service user"? Is that a user that exists already or one that will be created by QDC using the name/password provided?
To clarify question 4, the documentation recommends that the user used to run the Qlik Sense service be a domain user. This is so that attempting to restore a backup created by this user to a new machine would succeed since local users would have different names on different machines. So, I'm trying to understand whether this user needs to be created on a directory before using as the service user or if QDC uses local user accounts instead.
Thanks in advance for your help.
