Commvault is pleased to announce the availability of the Cloud Architecture Guide for AWS - 2022e Edition

This edition represents a major re-write of the CAG and includes improves in:

  • Covering all new features and functions in Commvault 11.26 - CPR2022e (11.28)
  • Detailing Commvault protection coverage for AWS services (300+ services)
  • Added a new Zero Trust Security section for staying secure and protected with Commvault + AWS.
  • Added a new Well-architected section to help detail how Commvault can be built 'well-architected' and operated in a well-architected manner
  • Removed T-Shirt sizing (Small, Medium, Large). Commvault not longer requires customers to build specific sized MediaAgents and Access Nodes - start with our minimum recommended specifications and scale as needed.

Excellent, thanks @Mathew Ericson 

A great resource!

The first link (via Connect) is broken and should probably be removed. The second link (and the linked image) work like a champ! Thank you very much, Mat and team, for all of your hard work to update this guide. It’s much more comprehensive than many of the AWS guides I have seen and provides a strong reference for using AWS and Commvault.

It's almost time for another update already as 2023 is about to get the GA status ;-) The current document is very complete, but requires a lot of reading, especially if you are only interested in the best practices or tips. Would it be possible to summarize these under a separate chapter? 

@Mathew Ericson you mentioned the removal of the T-shirt sizings, because the current vision is to start small and grow when needed. Are there plans to monitor this better from a Commvault perspective when it's time for a customer to bump the offering?

Thanks @Onno van den Berg - Yesthe new version of the AWS CAG 2023e edition is in draft currently with the goal to release on Aug 15th when Platform Release 2023e becomes GA.

 

There see no plans to summarize the AWS CAG any further to try and constrain the document size from growing. You can simply use the ‘How to use this Guide’ at the start of the CAG to find the information you are looking for.

 

Commvault is always looking at ways to simply and tune customer environments based on observed performance or latency. The AWS CAG aims to inform customers on how to use Commvault and CloudWatch to monitor their environments over time. Auto-tuning of say a MediaAgent instance type or size is not something that can be performed today.
