Deploy and activate Tutela
Launch the supported CloudFormation deployment, confirm the selected activation path, and verify application and API health.
Prerequisites
- AWS account with access to the approved Tutela release and installation package
- Confirmed direct evaluation, direct contract, or AWS Marketplace activation path
- DNS and TLS plan
- AWS IAM permissions for CloudFormation, EC2, ECR, Secrets Manager, KMS, Route 53, ACM, logs, and SSM
Day 0 deployment checklist
- Confirm the authorized installation path before launch. For a direct deployment, use the release and account-specific CloudFormation inputs supplied by Tutela. Use AWS Marketplace only after the organization has accepted the corresponding offer or contract.
- For a direct evaluation, confirm the evaluation end date, included full-platform capabilities, support contact, and conversion or extension path before inviting operators.
- Confirm AWS account, region, stack names, hosted zone, application domain, ACM certificate plan, runtime secrets, and sizing inputs before create.
- Confirm bootstrap admin email and temporary password are recorded in the operator handoff.
- Confirm that the Subscription Status panel identifies the intended activation source. A direct evaluation must not request Marketplace entitlement; a Marketplace installation must remain gated until AWS confirms entitlement.
- Use the canonical release tag supplied by the automated release pipeline.
- Verify the app loads, the public API is healthy, and background services are ready before manual testing.
Validate
