Managing the server
Remote management tools
To manage your Amazon Web Services account, use any of the following:
• AWS Management Console
When you sign in to the console, select Amazon EC2 from the drop-down list. Or, after you sign in to the console,
select the Amazon EC2 tab. After you sign in, you can launch an instance of Adobe Media Server.
• Elasticfox, a Firefox browser extension that works much like the AWS Management Console.
• Amazon Web Services API
Amazon has several developer tools that let you call the Web Services API to manage your instances and
applications. See
Amazon Developer Tools.
• Amazon EC2 API Tools
Amazon describes these tools as, “The client interface to the Amazon EC2 web service. Use these tools to register
and launch instances, manipulate security groups, and more.”
To connect to the Adobe Media Server instance from a remote computer, use any of the following:
• SSH clients (for example, PuTTY, Terminal, and WinSCP). These SSH clients can also use SCP (Secure Copy
Protocol) and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). See
“Managing content” on page 30.
• Adobe Media Server Administration Console
You can use the Administration Console to manage multiple Adobe Media Server instances. Adobe Media Server
Administration Console is not configured to run by default.
SSH TCP 22 Allows you to connect to an instance over SSH to
copy files, manage logs and configuration files, and
so on.
