Control-M for AWS EC2
AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) enables you to create virtual machines in the Amazon cloud-computing platform.
Control-M for AWS EC2 enables you to do the following:
- Connect to any AWS EC2 endpoint from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
- Integrate AWS EC2 jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
- Execute any of the following AWS EC2 job operations:
- Create a virtual machine.
- Create a virtual machine from a template.
- Start an existing virtual machine.
- Stop a running virtual machine.
- Reboot a virtual machine.
- Delete an existing virtual machine.
- Monitor the status, results, and output of AWS EC2 jobs in the Monitoring domain.
- Attach an SLA job to your AWS EC2 jobs.
- Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for AWS EC2 including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.
- Run 50 AWS EC2 jobs simultaneously per Agent.

Setting up Control-M for AWS EC2
This procedure describes how to deploy the AWS EC2 plug-in, create a connection profile, and define an AWS EC2 job in Control-M Web and Automation API.
NOTE: Integration plug-ins released by BMC require an Application Integrator installation at your site. However, these plug-ins are not editable and you cannot import them into Application Integrator. To deploy these integrations to your Control-M environment, you import them directly into Control-M using Control-M Automation API.
Before you Begin
Verify that Automation API is installed, as described in Automation API Installation.
Begin
Create a temporary directory to save the downloaded files.
Download the AWS EC2 plug-in from the Control-M for AWS EC2 download page in the EPD site.
- Install the AWS EC2 plug-in via one of the following methods:
- (For version 9.0.21.or later) Use the Provision service of Automation API:
- As an administrator on the Control-M/EM Server, store the downloaded zip file in the following location.
Within several minutes, the zip file is available in all Control-M interfaces associated with the Control-M/EM.- Linux: $HOME/ctm_em/AUTO_DEPLOY
- Windows: <EM_HOME>\AUTO_DEPLOY
- As an application user on the Agent machine, run the provision image command, as follows:
- Linux: ctm provision image AEC_plugin.Linux
- Windows: ctm provision image AEC_plugin.Windows
- As an administrator on the Control-M/EM Server, store the downloaded zip file in the following location.
- (For versions lower than 9.0.21) Use the Deploy service of Automation API, as described in deploy jobtype.
- (For version 9.0.21.or later) Use the Provision service of Automation API:
- Create an AWS EC2 connection profile in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
- Define an AWS EC2 job in Control-M Web or Automation API, as follows:
- Web: Creating a Job with AWS EC2 Job parameters
- Automation API: Job:AWS EC2
