RapidMiner Server cloud images

RapidMiner Server version 7.6 cloud images are provided both on the Amazon AWS Marketplace and the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. These are preinstalled images with embedded MySQL database, RapidMiner Server and the most common Extensions. Using an AWS or Azure account these images can be fired up in minutes and used with an own license.

Launching a RapidMiner server instance is almost the same as launching a standard Ubuntu or CentOS instance, just select the right AMI/Image during the Launch Wizard.

After the Instance/Virtual machine is ready, you can use it in the same way as the standalone installations and you can connect to your Remote repository from RapidMiner Studio. For details please check the How to use a Remote Repository page.
