# Deploying on AWS

You can run Curiosity on an Amazon EC2 instance using Docker.

1. EC2 Instance: Launch an instance (e.g., Ubuntu or Amazon Linux 2).
2. Persistent Storage (EBS): Create an Amazon EBS volume and attach it to your instance.
3. Mounting: Format and mount the volume (e.g., to /data).
   • AWS Documentation: Make an Amazon EBS volume available for use

Once Docker is installed and the volume is mounted at /data:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /data:/data -e storage=/data curiosityai/curiosity

Alternatively, you can use Docker Compose to manage the service configuration.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) supports persistent storage for stateful applications.

• EKS (EC2 Launch Type): Use the Amazon EBS CSI driver to provision EBS volumes for your pods.
  • AWS Documentation: Amazon EBS CSI driver
• EKS (Fargate Launch Type): Fargate nodes do not support EBS volumes. You must use Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) for persistent storage.
  • AWS Documentation: Fargate storage

Use a StatefulSet configuration similar to the one described in the Kubernetes guide, ensuring your PersistentVolumeClaim references the correct StorageClass (e.g., gp2 or gp3 for EBS, or your EFS storage class).
