This document discusses deploying Alfresco's Digital Business Platform (DBP) on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). It begins with an overview of containers on AWS and EKS. It then covers the DBP architecture on EKS, including container architecture, Helm chart architecture, and CloudFormation architectures for Alfresco Content Services and the full DBP. It demonstrates deployment and discusses future directions such as a container marketplace and service mesh integration.

Foundational
Tenets of
EKS
• EKS is a platform for enterprises to run
production-grade workloads.
• EKS provides a native and upstream
Kubernetes experience.
• If EKS customers want to use additional AWS
services, the integrations are seamless and
eliminate undifferentiated heavy lifting.
• EKS team actively contributes to the
Kubernetes project.
