Each DuploCloud Infrastructure is a connection to a unique Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network that resides in a region that can host Kubernetes clusters, EKS or ECS clusters, or a combination of these, depending on your public cloud provider.
After you supply a few basic inputs, DuploCloud creates an Infrastructure within AWS and DuploCloud. Behind the scenes, DuploCloud does a lot with what little you supply, generating the VPC, subnets, NAT Gateway, routes, and or clusters.
With the Infrastructure as your foundation, you can customize an extensible, versatile platform engineering development environment by adding Tenants, Hosts, Services, and more.
Estimated time to complete Step 1: 40 minutes. Much of this time is consumed by DuploCloud's creation of the Infrastructure and enabling your EKS cluster with Kubernetes.
Before starting this tutorial:
Learn more about DuploCloud , , and .
Reference the documentation to create User IDs with the Administrator role. To perform the tasks in this tutorial, you must have Administrator privileges.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Infrastructure.
Click Add. The Add Infrastructure page displays.
Enter the values from the table below in the corresponding fields on the Add Infrastructure page. Accept default values for fields not specified.
Select either the Enable EKS or Enable ECS Cluster option. You will follow different paths in the tutorial for creating Services with , , or .
Click Create to create the Infrastructure. It may take up to half an hour to create the Infrastructure. While the Infrastructure is being created, a Pending status is displayed in the Infrastructure page Status column, often with additional information about what part of the Infrastructure DuploCloud is currently creating. When creation completes, a status of Complete displays.
DuploCloud begins creating and configuring your Infrastructure and EKS/ECS clusters using Kubernetes.

Before proceeding, confirm that a Plan exists that corresponds to your newly created Infrastructure.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Plans. The Plans page displays.
Verify that a Plan exists with the name NONPROD: the name of the Infrastructure you created.
You previously verified that your Infrastructure and Plan were created. Now verify that Kubernetes is enabled before proceeding to create a Tenant.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Infrastructure. The Infrastructure page displays.
From the Name column, select the NONPROD Infrastructure.
Select the EKS or ECS tab. When Kubernetes has been Enabled for EKS or ECS, details are listed in the respective tab. For EKS, Enabled is displayed on the Kubernetes card. For ECS, the cluster name is listed in the ECS tab.
Every DuploCloud Infrastructure generates a Plan. Plans are sets of templates that are used to configure the or workspaces, in your Infrastructure. You will set up Tenants in the next tutorial step.
