Available Parameter Store Values
Your Vantage QU4RTET bundle is pre-configured to look in the amazon AWS Parameter Store for some configuration values, such as database URLs, passwords, etc. You can configure your QU4RTET instance to use RDS and S3 right from your browser, for example, without ever having to log into the QU4RTET instance.
Usage
To use parameters in the AWS Parameter Store to configure your QU4RTET instance, you'll need to follow the sections Add PARAMETER_GROUP to User Data and the AWS Systems Manager Configuration sections.
IMPORTANT If your instance is not configured with IAM to be a managed instance, and you have not set the the
PARAMETER_GROUPvalue in your EC2 instance's User Data then the values in the parameter store will not be available to QU4RTET.
