AWS Infrastructure Architecture Overview

Architectural overview of Oxy deployment options using AWS infrastructure including EC2 and ECS patterns

This document provides an architectural overview of the Oxy deployment options using AWS infrastructure. We support two primary deployment patterns: EC2-based and ECS-based deployments.

High-Level Architecture

Deployment Architecture Options

Oxy supports two primary AWS deployment patterns, each optimized for different use cases:

EC2 Deployment

Direct virtual machine deployment offering simplicity and full control.

• Best for: Development, small teams, direct server control
• Key benefits: Simple setup, SSH access, cost-effective for steady workloads
• Architecture: Single instance with EBS storage

ECS Deployment

Container-based deployment with automatic scaling and high availability.

• Best for: Production environments, scalable applications, enterprise deployments
• Key benefits: Auto-scaling, multi-AZ availability, managed infrastructure
• Architecture: Fargate containers with EFS shared storage

Common Components
