Infrastructure Options for MetaDefender Core in AWS EKS

The possible infrastructure options vary depending on the AWS services used to host MetaDefender Core and how the PostgreSQL database is provisioned.

Options:

1. EKS Cluster with EC2 Instances + AWS RDS
2. EKS Cluster with EC2 Instances + PostgreSQL Pod
3. EKS Cluster with AWS Fargate + PostgreSQL Pod

We offer a provisioning script that, depending on the selection, automatically provisions the cluster for you and installs the K8S components needed for the MetaDefender Core service. See EKS Cluster Deployment
