Amazon Web Services Marketplace China now supports Amazon CloudFormation to facilitate software deployment

{"value":"To streamline software deployment on Amazon Web Services, Amazon Web Services Marketplace China now supports AMI-based delivery of third-party software using [Amazon Web Services CloudFormation](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/cloudformation/?nc2=h_l3_mt). You can find and subscribe to AMI products that run across a cluster of [Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/ec2/?nc2=h_l3_c) (Amazon EC2) instances. You can also subscribe to AMI products that require additional Amazon Web Services resources. These include [Auto Scaling](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/autoscaling/?nc2=h_l3_c) groups, [Elastic Load Balancers](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/elasticloadbalancing/?nc2=h_l3_ac) (ELB), or [Amazon Relational Database Services](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/rds/?nc2=h_l3_db) (Amazon RDS). You can now easily deploy the third-party software using vendor-defined, vetted Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates.\n\n### **How to discover software backed by Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates**\nWith this release, you can quickly deploy software using Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates. You can search for AMI products backed by Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates. To do so, navigate to [Amazon Web Services Marketplace](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace). In the top navigation, under Delivery Methods, choose **CloudFormation Stack**. You can further refine results by applying additional search filters from the left sidebar, such as vendors, categories, and pricing plans.\n\nWhen you choose a product, its Product Detail Page shows a list of the Amazon Web Services resources required to run the AMI product. It also shows an estimate of the monthly infrastructure costs. When you subscribe to the product and choose a vendor-defined Amazon Web Services CloudFormation template, you are redirected to the Amazon Web Services CloudFormation console. From there, you can quickly deploy single or multiple instances of the AMI, along with other Amazon Web Services resources. All Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates available in Amazon Web Services Marketplace China are vetted and scanned for security and availability issues.\n\n### **Launch partners**\nThe following Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are now offering their software with Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates:\n\n- Citrix – [Citrix ADC (formerly NetScaler) VPX – Customer Licensed](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-t4hh35jvd2nqw)\n- Citrix – [Citrix SD-WAN Standard Edition, Customer Licensed](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-g5z2khdjbeapyz)\n- Veritas™ – [Veritas™ InfoScale Enterprise](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-cyp4zoqa2i3e6z)\n- Veritas™ – [Veritas Backup Exec™](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-givfwh5wgw4byz)\n- Pulse Secure – [Pulse Connect Secure – BYOL 3 NIC](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-xc36w2f4zs67kz)\n- Pulse Secure – [Pulse Connect Secure – BYOL 2 NIC](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-h5ot53qzspnty)\n- Tableau – [Tableau Server (BYOL) on Ubuntu](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-y3pzhdj6lvxciz)\n- Tableau – [Tableau Server (BYOL) on Windows](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-njawkxcwcbjlwz)\n- Tableau – [Tableau Server (BYOL) on CentOS](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-e6vsxqzscqknwz)\n- Cisco – [Cisco Cloud Service Router (CSR) 1000V](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-tpldow56ozyqoz)\n- Cisco – [Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL Wireless Controller](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-wkeabcaopw3duz)\n- Fortinet – [Fortinet FortiWeb Web Application Firewall WAF VM (BYOL)](https://awsmarketplace.amazonaws.cn/marketplace/pp/prodview-fcc3nuw2vz7moz)\n\n\n### **Why use Amazon Web Services CloudFormation stacks**\nAmazon Web Services CloudFormation automates the modeling and provisioning of a collection of Amazon Web Services resources using programming language or a simple text file. Through Amazon Web Services CloudFormation, Amazon Web Services Marketplace China enables ISVs to provide products with complex architectures to support more use cases. It also gives customers a simplified deployment experience. For example, a customer might want to implement a software product’s high availability cluster and prevent single points of failure. Using an Amazon Web Services CloudFormation template, the customer could deploy several software nodes across multiple Availability Zones in the same Region to achieve that.\n\nMoreover, ISVs can integrate their software products with Amazon Web Services services, such as Amazon RDS and [Amazon Elastic File System](https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/efs/?nc2=h_l3_sc) (Amazon EFS) through Amazon Web Services CloudFormation templates. This enables ISVs to take full advantage of all Amazon Web Services services and provide improved software performance in addition to more flexible software architecture.\n\nIn this software architecture, a VPC with an internet gateway has four subnets are located in two Availability Zones. Two of those are public subnets and indicated with a green background, and two are private subnets, indicated with a blue background. In each of the two public subnets, a set of Amazon EC2 instances is launched with an Auto Scaling group to achieve high software availability. Amazon EFS is mounted to the instance for file data storage and sharing. One Amazon RDS is used for data storage in two private subnets. Refer to the following topology diagram.\n\n\n\n### **To Independent Software Vendors**\nIf you are already selling your products in Amazon Web Services Marketplace and would like to take advantage of this new option, contact your Amazon Web Services Business Development Manager.
