64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Enabled AlertExceedsMax.
Files exceeding the MaxFileSize (100M), MaxScanSize (400M), or MaxRecursion (10) limit will be flagged with the virus name starting with "Heuristics.Limits.Exceeded".
If your scan is expected to trigger the alert, please contact us at support@elmcomputing.io

Usage instructions
Accessing the API Server
Once your EC2 instance is up and running, you can access the API Server using its private IP address. For instance, if the IP address is 172.31.39.37, you can perform the following actions:
-
Scan a file in an S3 bucket via http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/clamav/scan/s3/object
-
Scan a file on the server itself via http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/clamav/scan/file
Using NFS for Cross-Machine File Scanning
If you need to scan files residing on different machines, you can utilize the NFS server enabled on the API server. Here's how:
-
Create a directory on your local machine to store the data you want to scan. For example: mkdir /tmp/data-to-scan.
-
Mount the NFS shared directory from your Virus Scan Server AMI to your local machine using this command: sudo mount -t nfs 172.31.39.37:/elm/shared /tmp/data-to-scan. The NFS client can be installed using sudo apt install nfs-common and sudo yum install nfs-utils for ubuntu-like and amazon-linux-like operating systems, respectively.
-
Any files stored in /tmp/data-to-scan on your local machine can be accessed and scanned by the Virus Scan Server AMI via http://172.31.39.37:8080/api/clamav/scan/file
Security Note
For security reasons, we recommend not enabling public IP access to your API Server.
IAM Role Requirement
To allow the virus scan API server to download S3 data, you'll need to configure an IAM role with S3 read permission.
