Alternate deployment options

WorkSpaces Manager deployment is flexible and can be adapted to multiple Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks. This allows for automated and consistent deployment across various environments.

While the preferred method is deploying from the AWS Marketplace, Nuvens has prepared alternative deployment methods to accommodate different scenarios, such as Custom VPC Configurations, Multi-Region Deployments, High Availability (HA) or Disaster Recovery (DR) Setups, IaC-Driven Deployments, etc. Some of these scenarios include:

1. Install WorkSpaces Manager manually via EC2.

2. Share and deploy the AMI using the preferred method.

3. Create a new AMI via Packer and deploy using the preferred method.

4. Deploy a database on AWS RDS and use the Portal with methods #1 or #2.

In any scenario, we recommend using a Network Load Balancer (NLB) with a custom DNS name. This setup allows you to offload SSL certificates for secure communication and present the application through a user-friendly, custom domain name. The NLB ensures high availability, better traffic distribution, and efficient SSL termination, enhancing both security and performance.
