aws

Polaris on Amazon Web Services utilizes AWS Nitro Enclaves technology to provide confidential computing capabilities. For each Polaris container, the system provisions an EC2 instance running the Nitro Enclaves infrastructure. The instance is created using a public Polaris image and automatically starts the Polaris Proxy along with the configured Client Workload within the Nitro Enclave. There are specific instance types that support Nitro Enclaves. For more information, please refer to the AWS Nitro Enclaves documentation and supported instance types.

To get started with Polaris on AWS, you can access our pre-configured Polaris AMI through the AWS Marketplace and deploy it using AWS CloudFormation templates for automated infrastructure setup.

Deployment Templates

The main difference is that the Quickstart template creates a new VPC and all associated networking resources for a self-contained, publicly accessible deployment, while the BYON template is designed to be deployed into your existing VPC infrastructure.

Template	Purpose	Key Parameters
Quickstart	Fully automated setup with a new VPC and a public-facing Application Load Balancer.	SSHAccessCidr, ListenerPort
BYON	Deploys into an existing VPC and subnets with an internal Application Load Balancer.	VpcId, SubnetIds, LoadBalancerSecurityGroupIds, InstanceSecurityGroupIds
