# Running an Example Application using AWS Nitro Platform

## 1.0 Introduction

The Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM) environment is designed with the goal of protecting any application. This article describes how to run an Nginx application on a compute node.

## 2.0 Running an Nginx Enclave OS Application

**Prerequisites:** An Nginx application should be created.

Perform the following steps:

1. Add a group as described in [*Create a Group*](/v1/docs/users-guide-create-groups-1).
2. Navigate to the **Applications** menu item in the Fortanix CCM UI left navigation panel, and click **+** **ADD APPLICATION**.

3. Add an Nginx application. *For more information, refer to* [*Add and Edit an Application*](/v1/docs/users-guide-add-and-edit-an-application-1#40-add-enclave-os-application)*.*
4. Approve the domain for the Nginx application. *For more information, refer to* [*Tasks*](/v1/docs/users-guide-domain-and-application-image-approval-1).
5. In the detailed view of the application, click **+ ADD IMAGE**.

**Figure 2: Add Image**
6. Create an image of the Nginx application by providing a proper tag. *For more information, refer to* [*Create an Image*](/v1/docs/users-guide-create-an-image-1#30-create-an-image-for-enclave-os-applications).
7. Approve the image for the Nginx application. *For more information, refer to* [*Tasks*](/v1/docs/users-guide-domain-and-application-image-approval-1).
8. Run the application image using the following command:

```bash
sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /run/nitro_enclaves:/run/nitro_enclaves -e RUST_LOG=debug -e NODE_AGENT=http://172.31.14.110:9092/v1/ -p 80:80 -p 443:443 513076507034.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/development-images/em-test-framework-nginx-9913:nitro
```

Where,
  - `9092` is the port on which Node Agent listens up.
  - `172.31.14.110` is the Node Agent Host IP.
  - `em-test-framework-nginx-9913:nitro` is the converted app that can be found in the **Images** under the **Image Name** column in the **Images** table

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> - Use your own inputs for Node IP, Port, and Converted Image in the above format. The information in the example above is just a sample.
> - You can optionally pass the environment variable `ENCLAVEOS_DEBUG` to run the application in debug mode.
9. To verify that the application is running, click the **APPLICATIONS** menu item in the Fortanix CCM UI left navigation panel and verify that there is a running application image associated with it and displayed with the application in the detailed view of the application.
