With Splunk Enterprise on the AWS Cloud, you gain the flexibility of the AWS infrastructure to tailor your Splunk Enterprise deployment according to your needs, and you can modify your deployment on demand, as these needs change.

This Quick Start was developed by Splunk, Inc., in collaboration with AWS. Splunk is an APN Partner.

Splunk Annual Term License

  • What you'll build
  • Use this Quick Start to automatically set up the following Splunk Enterprise environment on AWS:

    • A virtual private cloud (VPC) configured across two Availability Zones, with a public subnet provisioned in each Availability Zone.*
    • An internet gateway to allow access from the internet to the public subnets.*
    • Two Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancers: one to load-balance HTTP web traffic to the search head instances, and the other to load-balance HTTP event traffic destined for the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) across all indexer instances.
    • An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user with fine-grained permissions for access to AWS services necessary for the deployment process.
    • Appropriate security groups for each instance or function to restrict access to only necessary protocols and ports.
    • In the public subnets, EC2 instances for Splunk Enterprise, including the following:
      • Splunk indexer cluster with the number of indexers you specify (3-10), distributed across the number of Availability Zones you specify.
      • Splunk search heads, either stand-alone or in a cluster, based on your input during deployment. In the latter case, the search heads are distributed across the number of Availability Zones you specify.
      • Splunk license server and indexer cluster master, co-located.
      • Splunk search head deployer, where applicable.
      • (Optional) User-provided Splunk apps and/or add-ons, loaded and pre-installed across indexers and search heads, based on your input.

    * The template that deploys the Quick Start into an existing VPC skips the tasks marked by asterisks and prompts you for your existing VPC configuration.

  • How to deploy
  • To build your Splunk Enterprise environment on AWS, follow the instructions in the deployment guide. The deployment process includes these steps:

    1. If you don't already have an AWS account, sign up at https://aws.amazon.com.
    2. Subscribe to the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for Splunk Enterprise in AWS Marketplace. (To take full advantage of Splunk Enterprise features, we recommend that you obtain a license by contacting sales@splunk.com.)
    3. Launch the Quick Start. The deployment takes 10-30 minutes, depending on whether you decide to enable search head clustering. You can choose from two options:
      • Deploy into your existing VPC
    4. Send data to the Splunk indexers.

    Amazon may share user-deployment information with the AWS Partner that collaborated with AWS on the Quick Start.

  • Cost and licenses
  • You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this Quick Start reference deployment. There is no additional cost for using the Quick Start.

    The AWS CloudFormation template for this Quick Start includes configuration parameters that you can customize. Some of these settings, such as instance type, will affect the cost of deployment. For cost estimates, see the pricing pages for each AWS service you will be using. Prices are subject to change.
