# SAP ASE for SAP NetWeaver on AWS Deployment and Operations Guide for Linux
This guide provides information about configuring SAP ASE database for SAP NetWeaver on AWS.
## Prerequisites
The following information is required to deploy SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) for SAP NetWeaver applications on AWS. This pertains to your existing resources, using AWS CLI to create Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS resources.
**Information**
| | |
| --- |--- |
| **Information** | **Description** |
| AWS Region | Region where you want to deploy your AWS resources. |
| Availability Zone (AZ) | Availability Zone within your target Region where you want to deploy your resources. |
| Amazon VPC id | Amazon VPC where you want to deploy your Amazon EC2 instances for SAP installation. |
| VPS subnet id | Subnet where you want to deploy your Amazon EC2 instances. |
| Linux AMI id | Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that will be used to launch your Amazon EC2 instances. You can find the latest Linux AMIs on [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace). |
| Key pair | Make sure that you have generated the key pair in your target Region and that you have access to the private key. |
| Security group id | Name of the security group that you want to assign to your Amazon EC2 instances. |
| Access key ID | Access key for your AWS account that will be used with AWS CLI tools. |
| Secret access key | Secret key for your AWS account that will be used with AWS CLI tools. |
+ Create security groups and open ports to enable communication. For existing security groups, ensure that the required ports are open. For a list of ports, refer to [TCP/IP ports of all SAP products](https://help.sap.com/viewer/ports).
+ Ensure that you have installed and configured AWS CLI with required credentials, if you plan to use it to launch instances. For more information, see [Installing the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html).
+ If you plan to use the AWS Management Console, ensure that you have the essential credentials and permissions to launch and configure AWS services. For more information, see [Access management for AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access.html).
+ Ensure that you have the software files required for installation readily available. You can stage these in [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) or [Amazon Elastic File System](https://aws.amazon.com/efs/) (Amazon EFS). Amazon EFS can be easily shared on all of your installation hosts. For more information, see [Create your Amazon EFS file system](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/gs-step-two-create-efs-resources.html).
+ You can request a service limit increase by creating a support ticket. For more information, see [AWS service quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html).
