CloudFormation Templates

CloudFormation templates that are attached to the Jaspersoft AWS Marketplace listings are the recommended approach to launching JasperReports Server.

To use a CloudFormation template, you must first subscribe to the AWS Marketplace listing, in order to get access to the AMIs the template uses.

Included in the CloudFormation templates on the Marketplace is a Mapping of the AMIs for the particular listing type - Hourly, MT, BYOL - and version. 

        "AWSRegionAMI": {
            "us-east-1": {
                "64": "ami-06f91cd7d5536aed2"
            },
            "us-east-2": {
                "64": "ami-07f4e1c328364f8e4"
            },
            ....
       }

If you customize CloudFormation templates for a particular version and want to upgrade to a new release of the AMIs, you will need to update this AWSRegionAMI Mapping.
