eCADFEM für AWS Creating a virtual machine (VM) • The creation of the new VM is confirmed to you by email. • The email contains also the credentials to your new VM. • The VM will be prepared for you. The one- time initialization process takes about 10 minutes. Only then can you access the VM for the first time. • Attention: the VM will be started for you and not stopped automatically. © CADFEM 2020 6
eCADFEM für AWS Creating a virtual machine (VM) • After some minutes, the VM is also shown under HW ON DEMAND > AMAZON > AMAZON INSTANCES. The following important information is shown here: • Button to START/STOP the VM • Instance-State, Instance-Name, Instance-Type • Instance-DNS / Instance-IP: needed for the remote access of the VM • Accumulated costs of the VM (usage until the previous day) © CADFEM 2020 7

• The current AWS Image has an update level of the following date: 28.07.2021
• For your own security, Windows Update is configured to play in updates automatically:
• After creating a new instance, please check for updates and play them in.
• Especially, this is important after Microsoft patch days.
• This is an important point before starting long calculations, so you can avoid unwanted
computer restarts.

Managing virtual machines – Starting and Stopping
• A VM can be switched on/off via customer
portal:
• Use START/STOP button.
• Attention: the display of the correct status of
the virtual machine in the portal can take up to
3 minutes.
• You will also be informed by email when the
VM is switched on/off.
© CADFEM 2020 15eCADFEM für AWS
Managing virtual machines – Termination
• The VM can be deleted in the customer
portal under HW ON DEMAND > AMAZON
> TERMINATE INSTANCE:
• TERMINATE deletes the instance after some
minutes
• TERMINATE-KEEP DATA deletes the
instance, but the data partition D: remains for
4 weeks (causes further costs according to
chosen disk size) and can be coupled to a new
VM for file transfer by CADFEM during this
time, if desired.
• The deletion of a VM is also confirmed to you
by email.

© CADFEM 2020 17eCADFEM für AWS Available InstanceTypes and Pricing Notes on the NVMe SSD (Instance Store) in g4dn-Instances: • The data in an instance store persists only during the lifetime of its associated instance. If an instance reboots (intentionally or unintentionally), data in the instance store persists. However, data in the instance store is lost under any of the following circumstances: • The underlying disk drive fails • The instance stops • The instance terminates • Therefore, do not rely on instance store for valuable, long-term data.
