The Sentinel VoLTE Cloud environment is an Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) based, small scale, functional IMS network in the Cloud.

Components

It includes five main components, each running in its own EC2 instance:

  • OpenCloud Sentinel VoLTE TAS

  • OpenIMS HSS

  • Metaswitch Clearwater IMS

  • Session Border Controller (not yet available)

  • Dialogic XMS - Media Resource Function (not yet available).

Each instance is published in Amazon as an EC2 AMI. New instances of the three images can be spun-up from the AMIs in about five minutes.
