Good Evening/Morning Team!

We are looking at moving our current EC2 Open edX tutor deployment to AWS ECS Fargate. I see in the documentation instructions for deploying to Kubernetes.

I was wondering if anyone has deployed Open edX to AWS ECS Fargate and what your/their experience was?

We are trying to determine if this is an approach that is recommended and if it is a feasible deployment option. We don’t currently have the approval in our organization to use AWS EKS or we would be trying that approach first.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Hi @justin-jones , my org is looking into doing the same thing. Did you get the go-ahead for deploying open edx to Fargate? If yes how did you proceed? If not did you at least research how that would be possible? Any hints?
Regards.

Hello @kanian77,

We have not gone forward with this approach. We are attempting to align with the EKS approach when we get some bandwidth across our teams.

I’m sure it is possible but, will most likely require some modifications. Sorry I wasn’t able to give you better news.

thanks,

Justin Jones

Hello @justin-jones ,

I’m a newcomer to the Open edX world and represent a non-profit organization in the education sector. We have recently installed Tutor Open edX for team evaluation and are now looking to plan a custom installation in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for our organization. Such as: separate database configurations for MySQL and MongoDB…etc

I understand that the Open edX community is filled with experienced individuals who have deep knowledge of the platform. We are eager to learn from your expertise and benefit from your insights. Thus, I created a Post for https://discuss.openedx.org/t/seeking-thoughts-and-suggestions-for-custom-open-edx-installation-in-azure-kubernetes-service/12032

Thank you all.

Hi Open edX team!
Any updates about this ? Would be very helpful to have this for companies adopting serverless solutions. If it’s working in EKS with ready docker images it should be easy to have it in ECS too.
