# AWS

The environments are hosted on AWS where they are built using [Cloudformation templates](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) and CDK code. Each environment consists multiple stack, templates for these are available in <https://github.com/6aika/sixodp-infra> and <https://github.com/6aika/sixodp/tree/master/cdk>.

### Database stack

The database stack contains components with irreplaceable data. If the stack is destroyed, the data is lost. The stack contains the following resources:

* Dataset bucket (S3)
* Policies of dataset bucket

The stack takes the following parameters:

* Environment name (pre-defined list)

The stack outputs following parameters:

* Dataset bucket

### CDK based stacks

Rest of the stacks are built using cdk and contains following components:

* Route53 zone for DNS
* WAF firefall for managing access to VPC network
* Load balancer to manage access to multiple web server
* Nat gateway for access to the internet
* 1-2 web servers depending on configuration, these host wordpress and ckan
* Background server for backgound processes like crontab, solr and redis
* 2 databases: Mysql for wordpress and postgresql for ckan
* Image files are hosted in EFS and dataset files in S3

The stacks are also depicted on the following figure:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ohjeet.dataportaali.com/architecture/aws.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
