Creating an Infrastructure and Plan for AWS

Use the DuploCloud Portal to create an AWS Infrastructure and associated Plan

Creating an Infrastructure

1. Click Add. The Add Infrastructure pane displays.

2. Define the Infrastructure by completing the fields:

   Name	Enter a unique name for the infrastructure to identify it within the DuploCloud Portal.
   Cloud	This is automatically set to AWS and cannot be changed.
   VPC CIDR	Enter the CIDR block for the new VPC (e.g., 10.10.0.0/16). Make sure it doesn’t overlap with existing networks.
   Region	Select the AWS region where you want to deploy your infrastructure (e.g., us-east-1).
   Availability Zones	Choose how many AWS availability zones to use. Select more zones for higher availability.
   Subnet CIDR Bits	Enter the number of CIDR bits to define the size of each subnet (e.g., 22). Lower values create larger subnets.
   Enable EKS	Select this option if you want to deploy a Kubernetes (EKS) cluster in the infrastructure. Once selected, you will be prompted to provide additional EKS settings, such as Cluster Mode (Auto or Standard), EKS Version, EKS Endpoint Visibility, Cluster IP CIDR, and EKS logging. For more information about cluster mode options, see EKS Auto Mode.
   Enable ECS Cluster	Select this option if you want to deploy an ECS cluster for running containerized workloads. Once selected, you can optionally select Enable Container Insights for ECS monitoring.
   Advanced Options	Optionally, expand this section to configure additional network settings. You can enter custom values for Private Subnet CIDR and Public Subnet CIDR using semicolon-separated CIDR blocks (e.g., 10.10.0.0/22;10.10.4.0/22).

   1. Click Create. The Infrastructure is created and listed on the Infrastructure page. DuploCloud automatically creates a Plan (with the same Infrastructure name) with the Infrastructure configuration.

Cloud providers limit the number of Infrastructures that can run in each region. Refer to your cloud provider for further guidelines on how many Infrastructures you can create.

Viewing Infrastructure settings

Up to one instance (0 or 1) of an EKS or ECS is supported for each DuploCloud Infrastructure.

Configuring EKS features (optional)

You can customize your EKS configuration:

• Add VPC endpoints.

• Enable EKS endpoints, logs, Cluster Autoscaler, and more. For information about configuration options, see these EKS Setup topics.
