IPFS on AWS, Part 2: Deploy a production IPFS cluster on Amazon EKS

Blog



This article provides a comprehensive guide to deploying a production IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) cluster on Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). The key steps and highlights include:

  • Creating a VPC with public and private subnets across two Availability Zones
  • Setting up a jumpbox for configuration and management
  • Configuring Amazon EKS with necessary components like AWS Load Balancer Controller and EFS CSI driver
  • Implementing Amazon Cognito authentication for the IPFS gateway
  • Deploying two independent IPFS servers in different Availability Zones
  • Creating an IPFS cluster with two peers using CRDT consensus
  • Protecting the IPFS gateway with an Application Load Balancer
  • Using Elastic IPs to improve IPFS network connectivity

The architecture provides a robust, scalable, and secure method for running an IPFS cluster on AWS, with built-in high availability and authentication mechanisms.
