Hello everyone. I am tutoring a course on unreal engine. We have a client who are not aloud to run the engine on their work machines. As such I wanted to know is it possible to run this through AWS without port7777 being open to the internet
hi @MrbrutusMaximus
The deployment guide at
Deploying Unreal Engine 4.27 on Cloud using AWS for Unreal Engine 4.27 Documentation
in this article is the instructions
You can also use the same credentials to connect to this instance via NICE DCV, either through the desktop client or through a web browser at port 8443. If using NICE DCV, make sure you follow these instructions for a valid (free) license.
Beware that the pricing as described on Amazon Market is the bottom end $2.1 USD per user/hour but you will need 150 dollars upfront for any storage space. Even though I am an indie Alexea developer I still pay for enhance security/billing/insurance because if any users get your billing key.
They can use your account to do CPU processing by just adding your billing key.
The T &C say you will accept responsibility.
Multiple users billing is $250USD per hour and this continues through 24hour/days until you remove you data and disconnect your account. Credit Cards are accepted and payment cannot be stopped.
dont forget each Carrier IP address carries a cost ie each PC
Carrier IP cost (monthly): 67.00 USD

Bit confusing using UE4 instructions for UE5🤣
I could have bought a new PC with the money spent 
you need to have over $1 Million income before paying for UE5 even Nvidia 4000 was to be $1490 now $800 with dealers dropping to $600 as they could be cheaper.
At the top left of documentation pages you can switch engine versions. The 4.27 docs take you to the UE4 listing and the 5.0+ docs take you to the UE5 listing.
Renting virtual machines and GPUs can get pricey. It’s worth noting that the default machine instance being used is a G5 which is pretty powerful. You can also launch with a G4 instance at a much lower price and still get reasonable performance. Also, you can turn on and off your virtual machines whenever you like just as you would with a regular PC. Persistent storage will still cost you, but compared to the on-demand VM it is very little.
Anyways, if you have Unreal Engine installed and running in a virtual machine on the cloud, you won’t need port 7777 to use the editor. You will need a port open for remote desktop. And if you shut off all other access to the internet you won’t have access to Launcher / marketplace features, Quixel, pixel streaming, etc. Using our cloud marketplace offerings will get you started easily.
