Hello All,

We are planning to implement NIDS(Snorts) in our Infrastructure, Ours is hybrid cloud having both AWS and VMware.

What and all key thing need to be in mind while building Snort?
Which Operating system is feasible and best for installing Snort?
Any suggestion will be really helpful to initiate implementation.
