We are planning to implement IPAM platform in AWS. May I ask what will be the factor to decide on the instance that we are going to use? Instead of MS SQL, can we use RDS for the database?
I saw this link: Deploy SolarWinds Orion Platform products to Amazon Web Services - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
The link you posted mentions that RDS is supported since 2nd quarter of 2018
The tricky part will be determining the correct size to pick, IPAM loads vary dramatically from one client to the next. For example if you have many subnets and actively scan them all at a frequent interval then there is a lot more activity writing to the DB and performance can be a concern, but if you disable automatic all of the scanning and only manage your IP ranges manually then there is very little data being written except when a user logs in to make a change by hand so performance is far less of an issue. I haven't benchmarked a standalone IPAM instance to have any specific numbers, so you are probably going to have to just try it out and see how it goes for you. Make sure to update your post with whatever you decide to do and how it turns out.
Thanks for sharing your insights on this. I will let you know once we started working on this. The only thing that is not yet clear for me is using the RDS. I am new to it. I assume that this should be a separate instance apart for IPAM Standalone server. Any links on the setup using the RDS?
