             Summary: Remove Legacy "amazon-aws" Deployment Path
                 Key: METRON-2321
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-2321
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nick Allen
            Assignee: Nick Allen


The automated AWS deployment mechanism (metron-deployment/amazon-ec2) should be 
removed.  It is no longer the preferred installation path for deploying to AWS.

There are many problems with maintaining this deployment method.
 * It deploys an insecure cluster by default.
 * It produces a cluster that does not survive a reboot. 
 * It is difficult for the the community to support a code path that is not 
free.
 * This is no longer the preferred installation path for AWS. 
 * It is difficult for the community to support a code path that is not free.
 * Is a point-of-confusion for new Metron users.

If a user wants to deploy to AWS, they should launch their EC2 nodes, install 
Ambari, and then using the MPack to deploy Metron.  That is the preferred 
installation path for AWS.

This has been discussed a few times on the mailing list.
