Deploying to AWS

🎶 Time for more theme music 🎶

💪 Congratulations! You're about to provision an MDAI Cluster! 💪

IMPORTANT! After deployment, the MDAI Cluster will be active and running in AWS. The current version of the MDAI Cluster was designed to be as cost-effective as possible, however you should still carefully monitor your spend and manage your MDAI Cluster capacity accordingly. If the MDAI Cluster is not actively being used for testing or managing telemetry pipelines, you may wish to shut it down to minimize your spend.

We hope to have benchmarks soon for cost and performance of our MDAI Clusters.

Deploy the MDAI Cluster

make install
Don't walk away just yet!

There's one more manual verification step required before CloudFormation will deploy all necessary infrastructure to get your MDAI Cluster up and running as soon as possible.

The install workflow

  1. The install will check and bootstrap the CDK Toolkit if it's not present for your configured region. bootstrap.png

  2. The CDK will output the detected changes and ask you to accept or reject the changes. Review all output carefully before proceeding! stack-details.png

  3. Follow the progress of the stack deployment process through the terminal interface. stack-details.png or AWS Console -> Cloud Formation CFN Status

  4. The installation process will add a new context to your kubeconfig. You can switch context by running: kubectl config use-context <desired_context> Detailed output will be stored into cdk-output.json.

A few notes while your stack is being provisioned...

  1. 🍿 Grab some popcorn! 🍿 Average install time is ~20-30 minutes.

  2. 👀 Don't want to monitor your terminal? Check out your stack's provisioning status in the AWS Console.

<!-- Change AWS_REGION to the region you deployed to -->
https://AWS_REGION.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home?region=AWS_REGION#/stacks?filteringText=&filteringStatus=active&viewNested=true
  1. 🏛️ View your stack's architecture in the CloudFormation Designer tool.

To find your stack ARN:

CFN Stack ARN

<!-- Change AWS_REGION to the region you deployed to -->
<!-- Change STACK_ARN to your stack's ARN -- shown above  -->
