Reference guide

To set up a reference deployment of CENM using AWS and PostgreSQL:

### Set up a PostgreSQL database for each CENM service

You must ensure that each CENM service has it’s own PostgreSQL database. Complete the steps referenced below for each of the following:

To set up each database:

1. Set up a PostgreSQL database in AWS - follow the instructions in the AWS documentation.
2. Connect to the database, using the details of the database in AWS.
3. Create a database user and a schema namespace with restricted permissions. Follow the steps for PostgreSQL.
4. Create the database schema for each service.
5. Perform CENM Service configuration - follow the steps for PostgreSQL. See also the database configuration documentation.
