Ensure that you have a bastion host running on Amazon EC2 with Windows OS for this blog.To complete this walkthrough the following is required: Please refer to the prior link for more details and steps to enable NICE DCV. You can consider using NICE DCV as an alternative option for running GUI-based applications. This blog talks about steps that must be done in order to forward the X11 screen to your highly secure Windows OS-based bastion hosts. During the application installation or configuration, you might need to install software such as an Oracle database or a third-party database using GUI methods. They can install all the needed tools in one server to perform database administrative or support activities. They do this instead of directly using their laptops connecting to the database servers. Most commonly, database administrators use a common Database Management, bastion host, or jump servers to connect database servers. Typically, you use SSH clients (such as PuTTY or SSH client) to establish the connection from the Windows OS-based bastion or jump servers to connect with Amazon EC2 instances running linux-based OS. There are several techniques to connect Amazon EC2 instances to manage OS level configurations. This blog provides detailed steps around SSH and x11 tools, various network and operating system (OS) level settings, and best practices to achieve the X11 forwarding on Amazon EC2 when installing databases like Oracle using GUI. This is helpful for system and database administrators, and application teams that want to perform software installations on Amazon EC2 using GUI method. In this post, I discuss enabling X11 forwarding from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Amazon Linux, SUSE Linux, Ubuntu servers running on Amazon EC2.
