Apache NiFi preinstalled for AWS. The open source dataflow automation platform with an HTTPS web console behind an nginx reverse proxy, and per instance login credentials generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Apache NiFi by cloudimg
Apache NiFi is a powerful open source platform for automating the flow of data between systems. It provides a web based, drag and drop interface to build, schedule and monitor data routing, transformation and system mediation logic at scale. This Amazon Machine Image delivers NiFi fully installed and configured as a single node deployment, so a complete dataflow automation platform is running within minutes of launch.
## Application Stack
The image runs Apache NiFi installed from the official Apache binary distribution under a dedicated unprivileged service account, supervised by systemd. NiFi serves its web console over HTTPS on the loopback interface; an nginx reverse proxy terminates plain HTTP on port 80 and forwards to the NiFi listener. The NiFi repositories and flow definition live on a dedicated, independently resizable data volume.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh single user login password, unique to that instance, rotates the flow sensitive properties key, configures the proxy host, and writes the credentials to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The NiFi service, the nginx reverse proxy, the data repositories and the administrator login are all configured and start on boot. Browse to the instance address and sign in to design flows on the NiFi canvas, drag in processors, connect them and monitor live throughput.
