Concepts

Ohlala Operations is designed to simplify the management of Windows EC2 instances on AWS. It provides a structured approach to automation, system monitoring, and operational efficiency. Below are the key concepts that form the foundation of Ohlala Operations.

1. Instance Management

All Windows EC2 instances in your AWS account are automatically detected and displayed in the Ohlala Operations interface. No manual registration is required. From the interface, you can monitor and automate tasks across all managed instances.

2. Automated Tasks

Ohlala Operations enables the execution of automated tasks on Windows instances. These tasks can include:

  • Running scripts and commands
  • Performing system updates
  • Restarting services
  • Collecting logs for troubleshooting

Tasks can be executed on demand and patching can be scheduled.

3. Monitoring and Insights

Ohlala Operations provides visibility into system status, key performance indicators, and operational health. You can track:

  • Running processes and resource usage
  • Recent system events and logs

4. Access and Security

Ohlala Operations operates within your AWS environment, leveraging AWS IAM roles and permissions to ensure secure execution. There is no need to open additional inbound ports or expose instances to direct external access.

The Ohlala Operations web interface is secured by a username and password. Authentication can be managed in two ways:

  • LDAP-based authentication (Active Directory) for centralized access control, with credentials securely stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
  • Local account authentication, where credentials are securely stored in AWS Secrets Manager.

By combining these core concepts, Ohlala Operations streamlines Windows EC2 management, reducing manual effort and improving system reliability.
