Hosting Fleet

You can deploy Fleet anywhere, or we can host it for you. Deploy to Render for an easy one-click proof of concept. Or, choose AWS with Terraform to deploy at scale. Just need to kick the tires? Try Fleet locally on your device.

Render is a cloud hosting service that makes it easy to get up and running fast, without the typical configuration headaches of larger enterprise hosting providers.

Prerequisites

  • A Render account with payment information.

  2. Give the Blueprint a unique name like yourcompany-fleet.

  3. Click "Deploy Blueprint." Render will provision your services, which should take less than five minutes.

  4. Click the "Dashboard" tab in Render when provisioning is complete to see your new services.

  5. From the "Fleet" service, click on the Fleet URL to open your Fleet instance. Then follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Fleet account.

AWS

Deploy at scale with AWS and Terraform

The simplest way to get started with Fleet at scale is to use AWS with Terraform.

This workflow takes about 30 minutes to complete and supports between 10 and 350,000 hosts.

Prerequisites

  • A new or existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) account

  • An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user with administrator privileges

  • The latest version of AWS Command Line Interface awscli

  • The latest version of HashiCorp Terraform

  • A Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for hosting Fleet

Instructions

  1. Download the Fleet main.tf Terraform file.

  2. Edit the following variables in the main.tf Terraform file you just downloaded to match your environment:

    # Change these to match your environment.
    domain_name = "fleet.example.com"
    vpc_name = "fleet-vpc"

    Note: Terraform modules for Fleet features can be enabled and disabled by commenting or uncommenting sections of the code as needed. To learn more about the modules, check out our AWS with Terraform advanced guide.

    This step will take around 15 minutes.

  5. Run the following command in Terminal:

    terraform apply -target module.fleet.module.vpc
  6. Run the following command in Terminal:

    terraform apply -target module.osquery-carve -target module.firehose-logging
  7. Log in to your AWS Route 53 instance

  8. Run the following command in Terminal:

    terraform apply -target aws_route53_zone.main
  9. From the Terminal output, obtain the NS records created for the zone and add them to the parent DNS zone in the AWS Route 53 GUI. Ensure you're adding the subdomain and its NS records to the parent DNS, not changing the NS records for the parent. For example: if the subdomain is fleet.acme.com and the NS record is ns-420.awsdns-52.com, add this record to the parent domain.

  10. Run the following command in Terminal:

    terraform apply -target module.fleet
  11. Run the following command in Terminal:

    terraform apply
  12. That’s it! You should now be able to log in to Fleet and enroll a host.
