 AWS Reference Architecture
This is a reference Architecture that generates an auto
scaling, highly available infrastructure for your
Multitenant JasperReports Server (JRS) Stack.

•  The JRS metadata repository DB is launched in a separate RDS

instance (you can also choose to enable multi AZ for the
repository DB)
•  Creates and enables an ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) to provide a
static endpoint (DNS Name/URL) for your cluster.
•  Build an auto scaling group with your choice of minimum and
maximum instances of JRS.
•  An IAM Role to set the EC2 credentials, and will define policies to
allow this role to auto-discover and connect to AWS data sources.

In the case your JasperReports Server instance fails or stops

responding, the instance will be replaced with a new one. If the JRS
server load is above the threshold set the auto scaling group will
launch a new instance and add it to the cluster up to the Max
instances value you have chosen.
