Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support while launching it and connecting to the instance for the first time as well as continuous security updates available in new versions.
DESCRIPTION
NetBox Community Edition is an open-source web application tailored for managing and documenting computer networks. As a powerful IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tool, it offers network administrators a centralized platform to organize network components like devices, connections, IP addresses, and racks.
This image runs Netbox Community in a docker container and is intended to help cloud professionals to use NetBox in the context of a PoC (Proof of concept) or any other type of test environment.
For production deployments we recommend separate the database from the application, following the instructions at https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/installation/ .
We recommend also backing up your EC2 Instances using the steps described here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/backup-recovery/ec2-backup.html
Highlights
- **Comprehensive IPAM and DCIM Capabilities**: NetBox excels in providing detailed IP address management and data center infrastructure management functionalities, allowing for efficient organization, documentation, and visualization of network resources, including IP ranges, subnets, and physical infrastructure layouts.
- **Extensibility through Plugins and API**: The platform supports a high degree of customization and automation through its robust API and plugin architecture. Users can extend its core functionalities, integrate with existing systems, and automate repetitive tasks, enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility.
- **Community-Driven Development**: Being open-source and community-driven, NetBox benefits from continuous updates, security patches, and feature enhancements contributed by network professionals worldwide. This collective development effort ensures the tool remains up-to-date with the latest industry standards and user needs.

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.

Additional Information
Monitoring the Health of the instance
- Navigate to your Amazon EC2 console and verify that you're in the correct region.
- Choose Instance and select your launched instance.
- Select the server to display your metadata page and choose the Status checks tab at the bottom of the page to review if your status checks passed or failed.
Data Encryption
- This image does not provide encryption by default at the Operating System or Application level, customers are encouraged to enable EBS encryption during the Instance Launch: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html
- EBS Encryption using the Default key enables key rotation - More details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncryption.html#kms-key-rotation - Using EBS encryption, the decryption is done automatically when using the instance.
- Customer data can be saved anywhere in the instance, however it is a good practice to save user data (including sensitive data) in the /home/<user-name> directory.
