Specialized knowledge

This deployment guide requires a moderate level of familiarity with AWS services. If you’re new to AWS, see the Getting Started Resource Center and AWS Training and Certification. These sites provide materials for learning how to design, deploy, and operate your infrastructure and applications on the AWS Cloud.

This portion of the deployment guide is located at docs/{specificdir}/specialized_knowledge.adoc

Supported AWS Regions

AWS account

If you don’t already have an AWS account, create one at https://aws.amazon.com by following the on-screen instructions. Part of the sign-up process involves receiving a phone call and entering a PIN using your phone’s keypad.

Your AWS account is automatically signed up for all AWS services. You are charged only for the services you use.

Amazon EKS cluster

If you deploy your cluster into an existing Amazon EKS cluster that was not created by the Amazon EKS on the AWS Cloud Quick Start, you must configure your cluster to allow this Quick Start to manage it. For more information, see the Deployment steps section.

IAM permissions

Before launching the Quick Start, you must log in to the AWS Management Console with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions for the resources and actions that each template deploys.

The AdministratorAccess managed policy within IAM provides sufficient permissions, although your organization may choose to use a custom policy with more restrictions.

Deployment options

This Quick Start provides three deployment options:

  • Deploy {partner-product-short-name} into a new VPC (end-to-end deployment). This option builds a new AWS environment consisting of the VPC, subnets, NAT gateways, security groups, bastion hosts, EKS cluster, a node group, and other infrastructure components. It then deploys {partner-product-short-name} into this new EKS cluster.

  • Deploy {partner-product-short-name} into a new EKS cluster of an existing VPC. This option builds a new Amazon EKS cluster, node group, and other infrastructure components into an existing VPC. It then deploys {partner-product-short-name} into this new EKS cluster.

  • Deploy {partner-product-short-name} into an existing EKS cluster. This option provisions {partner-product-short-name} in your existing AWS infrastructure. Note that when deploying into an EKS cluster that was not created by the Amazon EKS on the AWS Cloud Quick Start, you must prepare the cluster as described in the Deployment steps section.
