big-blue-button-cloudformation-cfhl
BigBlueButton automation for AWS using CloudFormation templates. This project provides turn-key deployment of the open source BigBlueButton web conferencing and distance learning platform on Amazon Web Services. Templates are compiled using the cfhighlander tool. Key features include configurable disk size, root disk encryption by default, daily and weekly server backups as Amazon Machine Images through AWS Backup, admin credentials stored in SSM Parameter Store, and server connectivity via AWS Session Manager. The solution supports multiple AWS regions including US East, Asia Pacific Sydney, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and Mumbai. A Route53 hosted zone is required for deployment. The templates are highly extensible for users building their own CloudFormation configurations.
