Does the json template for Express Plus setup a “best case configuration” of OpenEMR in the AWS cloud? Why I ask is when creating an express plus configuration on cloudformation using the github json template, the os, is ubuntu? so the version in the template is not the latest LTS server os… Just wondering why?
And if I created a VPC before using the json template in cloudformation, would it be easy to modify the json template to incorporate express plus into the VPC created previously? Im just thinking that you want to “not” serve the express plus instance open to the internet at first, just for egress nat access and even then you want to whitelist in the firewall what the server is communicating with on the internet.
I’ve utilized pfsense plus instances as the starting point for access to anything beyond it available on private subnets in the vpc. OpenVPN is incorporated natively on the pfsense plus offerings and as such has a simple way to configure a VPN to private subnet in a VPC. And while gaining access to private subnet, you can configure pfsense to do egress NAT so that the private subnet can talk out to the computers on the internet…
Basically, does modifying the current express plus template, so that it uses most current server os version and such, make it no longer hipaa eligible?
