Single Instance Components
The CloudFormation template sets up a single node with the following components that can be accessed through a load-balancer:
- Cortex with all supporting Elastic Path and third-party applications
- Commerce Manager server
- Search primary server
- Batch server
- Integration server
- ActiveMQ
- MySQL database
The single instance environment is able to use AWS (Amazon Web Services) SQS (Simple Queue Service) for message-based integration with external systems. The single instance deployment configures SQS queues for handling purchases, shipments and inventory.
