Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a secure cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow.
Hi Community,
Enjoy the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:
This is the second part of an article pair where I walk you through:
As mentioned the goal is to give you a smooth “first run” experience.
We didn't start with a big AI strategy.
We had a legacy InterSystems Caché 2018 application, a lot of old business logic, and a practical need: build a new UI and improve code that had been running for years. At first, I thought an AI coding agent would help only with a small part of the work. Maybe some boilerplate, some REST work around the system, and a bit of help reading old ObjectScript.
In practice, it became much more than that.
I created a new repo called ipm-module-budget from https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-iris-dev-template template.
I cloned the repo to an EC2 instance in AWS. When I try to build image, I see this error:
#8 22.09 [IRISAPP|ipm-module-budget] Reload START (/home/irisowner/dev/)Segmentation fault (core dumped) #8 ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c pip3 install -r requirements.txt && iris start IRIS && \tiris session IRIS < iris.scri pt && iris stop IRIS quietly" did not complete successfully: exit code: 139
Who this guide is for.
This guide is intended for developers, solution architects, and DevOps engineers who want to deploy InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on Amazon Web Services (AWS). No prior AWS automation experience is required, but basic familiarity with EC2 and SSH is helpful.
What you will achieve.
After completing this guide, you will be able to:
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Deployment overview
The deployment process consists of the following steps:
Hi Gang!
Did you know you can deploy InterSystems IRIS Community Edition on the cloud without paying for a license? You can try for free, and it could even come in handy if you want to show off that shiny new app you've created (maybe for the full stack competition..?)
In this article I will provide a complete walkthrough on how to deploy IRIS on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and will also add a follow up for deploying on Azure.
Now before I begin the walkthrough, I want to admit that I was terrified of using AWS the first time because I'd seen memes about how easy it is to rack up costs on AWS. So if you're thinking the same, I suggest you start by signing up to a Free Tier Account, which gives you $100 free credit to evaluate, and automatically shuts off to prevent charges. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition has a free license so if you pair the two, you can deploy without risk and completely for free. (Disclaimer: although I'm sure this is true, please do read the free account terms and make your own decisions 😅 )
Note, this article walks through deploying IRIS Community on AWS, however the same guide can be followed to deploy IRIS for Health Community Edition, or with Bring-your-own-licence editions of IRIS and IRIS for Health, to deploy a fully licensed, production version of IRIS on AWS.
I am using IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2022.1 (Build 209) Tue May 31 2022 12:27:55 EDT [Health:3.5.0]. I created Interoperability Production with a Service to read file from S3 bucket and an Operation to write files to a different S3 bucket. I specified AWS ProviderCredentialsFile.
I see "Terminating Job 7096 / 'From S3 Bucket' with Status = ERROR #5023: Remote Gateway Error: Connection cannot be established, %QuitTask=
Do I need anything like Python libraries or AWS CLI to make this work?
For a variety of reasons, users may wish to mount a persistent volume on two or more pods spanning multiple availability zones. One such use case is to make data stored outside of IRIS available to both mirror members in case of failover.

Though trivial, Id like to go multi-cloud with the stretched IrisCluster for a couple of reasons to socialize the power of Wireguard when it supplies the network for a properly zoned IrisCluster by adding another mirror role to Amazon Web Services in the Western United States based datacenter in Oregon.
Hey Community,
The InterSystems team recently held another monthly Developer Meetup in the AWS Boston office location in the Seaport, breaking our all-time attendance record with over 80 attendees! This meetup was our second time being hosted by our friends at AWS, and the venue was packed with folks excited to learn from our awesome speakers.
The topic of the August meetup was Agentic Orchestration & Multi-LLM Systems, and our speakers brought some amazing demos: First, @Nicholai.
Hey folks! Having recently onboarded to InterSystems, I realized that despite having a totally free and awesome Community Edition, it's not super clear how to get it. I decided to write up a guide highlighting all the different ways you can access the Community Edition of InterSystems IRIS:
Working with a containerized instance of the Community Edition is the recommended approach for folks who are new to developing on InterSystems IRIS, and in my opinion it's the most straightforward. InterSystems IRIS Community Edition can be found on DockerHub; if you have an InterSystems SSO account, you can also find it in the InterSystems Container Registry.
In either case, you'll want to pull the image you want using the docker CLI:
docker pull intersystems/iris-community:latest-em
// or
docker pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:latest-emNext, you'll need to start the container: In order to interact with IRIS from outside the container (for example, to use the management portal) you'll need to publish some ports. The following command will run the IRIS Community Edition container with the superserver and web server ports published; note that you can't have anything else running that depends on ports 1972 or 52773!
docker run --name iris -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 intersystems/iris-community:latest-emHey Community,
Last week, the InterSystems team held our monthly Developer Meetup in a new venue for the first time ever! In the AWS Boston office location in the Seaport, over 71 attendees showed up to chat, network, and listen to talks from two amazing speakers. The event was a huge success; we had a packed house, tons of engagement and questions, and attendees lining up to chat with our speakers afterwards!
