SaaS deployment architectures with Amazon EKS

Containers Blog



The article discusses SaaS deployment architectures using Amazon EKS, highlighting three primary models for deploying software services across different customer environments:

  • SaaS Provider Hosted: Both control and data planes reside in the provider's AWS account
  • Remote Application Plane: Data plane runs in customer's environment, control plane stays in provider's account
  • Hybrid Nodes: EKS control plane in provider's account, compute nodes in customer's infrastructure

Key considerations include:

  • Establishing clear shared responsibility models
  • Using GitOps for consistent deployments
  • Implementing robust tenant onboarding processes
  • Managing infrastructure and application lifecycle across distributed environments

The article emphasizes that these deployment models enable SaaS providers to serve diverse markets while maintaining operational excellence and customer flexibility.
