Continuous-Deployment: AWS Resources

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Armory and AWS services

You use several AWS services when you deploy the Armory platform on AWS: Virtual Private Cloud, Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), IAM, Simple Storage Service (S3), Secrets Manager, Redis, and Aurora.

Deployment on AWS

Without disaster recovery

With disaster recovery

Spinnaker does not function in multi-master mode, which means that active-active is not supported at this time. Instead, you can achieve an active-passive Spinnaker setup that results in two instances of Spinnaker deployed into two regions that can fail independently. See Configuring Spinnaker on AWS for Disaster Recovery for instructions.

Pricing

See the AWS Pricing guide for explanations of AWS pricing tiers.

You can calculate AWS costs by using the AWS Pricing Calculator or by consulting individual pricing pages.

If you plan to use EC2 with your Armory installation, you can find related costs on the following pages:

EC2
Elastic Block Store (EBS)
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) for Application Load Balancer (ALB), Network Load Balancer (NLB), or Classic Load Balancer (CLB)

Basic cost estimate

The example below is based on a basic Armory production environment running in a single region without disaster recovery. Your infrastructure needs and costs may vary.

Prices are based on “On Demand” rates. “Reserved” rates may be more cost effective. AWS pricing can change without notice, so be sure to determine your costs using the AWS Pricing Calculator. You can also contact Armory for help in calculating costs.
