Hi @Vaishnav88sk , @yada ,

I recently worked on deploying applications on AWS. Since this is a frontend deployment, we have multiple options: AWS Amplify, EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), or ECS (Elastic Container Service) depending on the architecture and scalability requirements.

For a complete AWS deployment, we need to set up the following:

1️⃣ Infrastructure Setup:
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) – Isolate and manage networking.
Subnets – Public/private subnets for different components.
Security Groups – Control inbound/outbound traffic.
NAT Gateway – Allow private subnets to access the internet securely.
IAM Roles & Policies – Define permissions for services.
2️⃣ Compute & Containerization:
ECR (Elastic Container Registry) – Store and manage Docker images.
ECS (Elastic Container Service) or EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) – Deploy and manage containers.
Task Definition (for ECS) – Define how containers should run.
Auto Scaling – Ensure high availability and scalability.
3️⃣ Database & Storage:
Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) - PostgreSQL/Aurora – Managed database service.
Amazon S3 – Store static assets, logs, and backups.
4️⃣ Networking & Security:
ALB (Application Load Balancer) – Distribute traffic efficiently.
Route 53 – Manage domain names and DNS.
CloudFront – Content delivery for optimized performance.
Let me know your thoughts! If you have specific deployment preferences, we can tailor this further. 🚀

Hello everyone!

We are working on "Streamlining Microcks Deployment on AWS Marketplace" to create a validated and repeatable SaaS architecture for deploying Microcks on AWS. The goal is to simplify adoption by leveraging AWS-native services while ensuring scalability, security, and compliance with AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR).

Since many of you have deployed Microcks on AWS with services like EKS, IAM, Aurora, DocumentDB, API Gateway, VPC and CloudFormation, your insights would be extremely valuable in shaping this initiative. We'd love to hear your thoughts on:

🚀 Key Questions

• Flow of Deployment: How did you structure your deployment?
• AWS Services Used: Which services did you integrate, and why?
• Challenges Faced: What difficulties did you encounter?
• Improvements: How can we simplify deployment for the community?

🔍 Additional Insights

• 🔒 Security & IAM: Best practices for authentication, authorization, and role management.
• 🌐 Networking & Scaling: VPC setup, autoscaling strategies, and high availability.
• 💰 Cost Optimization: How did you manage costs? Any AWS pricing strategies or optimizations?
• 🗄️ Database Management: Best practices for Aurora PostgreSQL, migrations, and backups.
• 🤖 Automation & IaC: Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK – what worked best for you?
• 📊 Monitoring & Logging: CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana – what tools helped you track performance?
• 🛠️ User Experience: What challenges did you or your team face when setting up Microcks?

This initiative aims to enable one-click deployment from AWS Marketplace, with minimal effort, ensuring container scaling on EKS and persistent user data in Aurora PostgreSQL instead of containers. The app will be accessible through API Gateway, with automated infrastructure provisioning.

Your experiences and feedback can help us refine this approach and build a shared repository of best practices for the community. Looking forward to your valuable input! 🚀
