Overview

This document specifies the steps that you can follow to get Volt MX Foundry up and running on your Amazon EKS Cluster and assumes a basic understanding of Amazon EKS and Kubernetes concepts.

Prerequisites

• An Amazon EKS cluster setup based on the architecture diagram

• A database that is setup external to the Amazon EKS cluster
  For information about the supported databases and their versions, refer to Supported Databases.

  Note: If you are using Amazon RDS MySQL as your database, make sure that you follow the Database Setup tasks.

• A publicly available host name
