Overview
Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) on AWS is an enterprise-proven, multi-protocol system designed to manage unstructured data with superior performance, scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
CNQ offers a transformative approach to cloud economics, priced up to 80% less than legacy file offerings. By leveraging AWS S3 for long-term data persistence, CNQ significantly reduces costs without sacrificing performance. Its intelligent cache management accelerates data access between object storage and compute, ensuring all data is served efficiently from NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express). This eliminates the long-tail latencies typically associated with file transfers from S3 to temporary caches, unlocking a wide range of file workloads previously constrained by on-premises data centers due to performance or cost limitations.
NOTE: Cloud Native Qumulo is metered & charged based on data stored on the system. This listing enables you to purchase Qumulo Credits to pre-pay for usage. Credits will be drawn down monthly based on usage. If $5000 is not the right multiple, contact aws@qumulo.com for a private offer.

Highlights
- Simplicity: CNQ can be deployed in minutes using a wide range of EC2 instance types, making it easy to get started and adapt to changing needs.
- Elasticity: Seamlessly expand and contract performance and capacity within minutes to match dynamic workload requirements without disruption.
- Scalability: Scale data footprints to exabyte levels, accommodating the growing data demands of modern enterprises.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Qumulo Core 7.2.2 is embedded in the AMI in this version. Visit https://nexus.qumulo.com for release notes.

Usage instructions
It is strongly recommended you contact our team at aws@qumulo.com for production deployments.
For a small-scale TEST deployment, you need:
- An empty S3 bucket
- IAM Instance Profile that has permissions to access bucket
Steps:
- Deploy an instance with the following:
- EC2 key pair or SSM permissions
- VPC, Subnet, and Security Group (TCP 22,80,443,2049,445)
- Add EBS Volumes: 4x gp3 volumes @ 4GiB each + 4x gp3 volumes @ 16GiB each
- IAM instance profile for S3
- ssh admin@<instance_ip>
- Run
sudo qshand run (replace[S3_BUCKET_NAME]and[PASSWORD]):
S3_BUCKET_NAME=[S3_BUCKET_NAME]
TOKEN=$(curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600")
LOCAL_IP=$(curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4)
REGION=$(curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/region)
/opt/qumulo/qq_internal cluster_create_test \
--cluster-name "cnq-mini-test" \
--admin-password "[PASSWORD]" \
--local-instance-id \
--node-ips "$LOCAL_IP" \
--usable-capacity-clamp 100000000000000 \
--pstore-class TIERED_ACTIVE_PSTORE \
--object-storage-uris "https://$S3_BUCKET_NAME.s3.$REGION.amazonaws.com/"
Once completed, connect to instance with a web browser and login as admin and [PASSWORD] as the password (no quotes).
