# AWS In-VPC / CloudPrem

> Deploy e6data inside your own AWS VPC on Amazon EKS - the end-to-end CloudPrem deployment, from infrastructure to your first query.

An **In-VPC** (CloudPrem) deployment runs the entire e6data Compute Plane inside **your own AWS VPC** on Amazon EKS. Your data and query traffic never leave your environment; the e6data Control Plane handles only admin operations, workspace management, access control, and observability (sent over HTTPS on port 443).

<Info>
  **Who this is for:** your infrastructure / platform team - you need AWS admin access to deploy into your own VPC (creating the VPC, EKS cluster, IAM roles, and networking). **Before you start:** the AWS CLI, `kubectl`, and Helm, and familiarity with EKS.
</Info>

<Info>
  For a fully managed alternative with no infrastructure to run, see [AWS Serverless](/platform/deploy/aws-serverless).
</Info>

## What you'll deploy

The deployment proceeds in order:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the architecture">
    See [Architecture](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/architecture) - what runs in your account vs. e6data's.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check prerequisites">
    See [Prerequisites](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/prerequisites) - required tools and the items e6data provides during onboarding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure registry, VPC, EKS, and networking">
    Follow [Configure registry, VPC, EKS, and networking](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/configure-registry-vpc-eks-networking) - AWS infrastructure and the Kubernetes platform components.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy workspace and e6data">
    Follow [Deploy workspace and e6data](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/deploy-workspace) - the workspace namespace, NodePool, and e6data workspace components.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register a catalog">
    See [Register a catalog](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/register-catalog) - connect your data lake.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a cluster">
    See [Create a cluster](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/create-cluster) - provision compute.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first query">
    See [Run your first query](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/run-first-query) - validate the install.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Ongoing operations are covered in [Component versions and operations](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/component-versions-and-operations), [Delete workspace](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/delete-workspace), and [Troubleshooting](/platform/deploy/aws-cloudprem/troubleshooting).
