Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• OS / AMI: Amazon Linux 2023 is not supported, official AWS documentation says that AL2023 is cloud-centered and optimized for Amazon EC2 usage and currently does not include a graphical or desktop environment.
  
  
• Architecture: For Linux and Windows: The 64-bit (x86) architecture is supported. Note that the 64-bit (Arm) architecture is not supported.
  
  
• Instance Type: We tested OpendTect on the following instance types: g3s, g5
  
  
• GPU:  We recommend either creating the instance with an AMI that comes with the NVIDIA driver pre-installed or installing the NVIDIA GRID driver on an instance that comes with a NVIDIA GPU. Please note that the basic Microsoft render driver is not supported.
  
  
• Display: We recommend to use NICE DCV for the remote display. More information and the downloads for Server and Client can be found on the NICE DCV website.

Please note that:

• We have known clients using OpendTect on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. The requirements are no different compared to the on-prem requirements. Same OS, amount of memory and same graphics requirements apply.
