Optional EC2 Configuration

EC2 Environmental Setup

Kron DSP is deployed on Kubernetes for easy autoscaling. AWS EKS will be used on deployment. All below installation steps must be executed on CMS.

First start with installing AWS CLI, that’s needed to connect to your AWS account:

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"unzip awscliv2.zip

sudo ./aws/install -i /usr/local/aws-cli -b /usr/local/bin

For more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html

Next install kubectl with below commands:

curl -O https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/amazon-eks/1.26.2/2023-03-17/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl

chmod +x ./kubectl

mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./kubectl $HOME/bin/kubectl && export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

After that install eksctl with below commands:

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_$(uname -s)_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp

sudo mv /tmp/eksctl /usr/local/bin

Last install helm with below commands:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 > get_helm.sh

chmod 700 get_helm.sh

./get_helm.sh

EC2 CMS Deployment

Copy 'ms' folder on EC2

In this step, you will copy the "ms" folder to an EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instance. The "ms" folder contains the configuration for the microservices that make up the application.

Copy 'docker-compose-deploy.yml' on EC2

The "docker-compose-deploy.yml" file is a YAML configuration file that defines the Docker containers and environment that make up the application. In this step, you will copy this file to the EC2 instance.

Configure Docker Compose YML

This step involves editing the "docker-compose-deploy.yml" file to configure the database connection parameters to match the RDS instance you created earlier. Specifically, you will configure the DB_URL, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD parameters to connect to the database.

Docker File installation

This step involves logging in to the Docker hub of Kron Technologies. There will be specific read only user given to you with an access token. File can be installed after the login.

Docker Deployment

This is the final step of the deployment process. It involves running the Docker containers defined in the "docker-compose-deploy.yml" file on the EC2 instance. This step brings all the components together and launches the application.
