Camunda 8 Components in EKS Cluster Nodes

Camunda 8 Topics

Hi,

I am new to Cloud concepts and trying to understand how to setup Camunda 8 in self managed installation of AWS EKS.

My question here is, If I create a AWS EKS cluster as mentioned here Amazon EKS | Camunda 8 Docs with 4 nodes, am I going to have 1 instances of zeebe, tasklist, operate and optimize in each of the 4 nodes ?

If so, what is the minimum configuration I can use to get started to try something very basic, like a very simple workflow with 2 human tasks and no automated tasks.

In the post above, I can see it as m5.xlarge 4vCPU, 16GiB etc, but for me to just install and try it out it can turn out to be expensive.

Note: I am trying a self managed installation for my own learnings and hence not opting for SAAS.

Regards,
Sharath.

Hi @SharathChandra, welcome to the forums! Whether you get multiple instances or not depends on if you deploy it in high availability mode or not (see diagram/notes here. As for sizing, there are a lot of factors: I would recommend starting with this guide.

Are you wanting to learn about deploying to the cloud in preparation for production deployments? If not, you can get started locally with something like minikube or kind (here is a guide for using kind locally to start a self-managed cluster).
