AWS Infrastructure Architecture Overview

This document provides an architectural overview of the Oxy deployment options using AWS infrastructure. We support two primary deployment patterns: EC2-based and ECS-based deployments.

With Built-in Authentication (Simplified)

​

Deployment Architecture Options

Oxy supports two primary AWS deployment patterns, each optimized for different use cases:

​

EC2 Deployment

Direct virtual machine deployment offering simplicity and full control.

• Best for: Development, small teams, direct server control
• Key benefits: Simple setup, SSH access, cost-effective for steady workloads
• Architecture: Single instance with EBS storage

​

ECS Deployment

Container-based deployment with automatic scaling and high availability.

• Best for: Production environments, scalable applications, enterprise deployments
• Key benefits: Auto-scaling, multi-AZ availability, managed infrastructure
• Architecture: Fargate containers with EFS shared storage

Next Steps

Choose your deployment architecture and authentication method:

​

EC2 Deployment

• EC2 Architecture Details - Detailed EC2 deployment architecture
• EC2 Built-in Auth Setup - Quick setup with native authentication
• EC2 Cognito Setup - Enterprise setup with AWS Cognito

​

ECS Deployment

• ECS Architecture Details - Detailed ECS deployment architecture
• ECS Built-in Auth Setup - Container deployment with native authentication
• ECS Cognito Setup - Enterprise container deployment with AWS Cognito

Recommendation: Start with built-in authentication for faster setup, then migrate to Cognito for enterprise requirements.
