Datafold VPC Deployment on AWS

​

Create a Domain Name (optional)

You can either choose to use your domain (for example, datafold.domain.tld) or to use a Datafold managed domain (for example, yourcompany.dedicated.datafold.com).

​

Customer Managed Domain Name

Create a DNS A-record for the domain where Datafold will be hosted. For the DNS record, there are two options:

• Public-facing: When the domain is publicly available, we will provide an SSL certificate for the endpoint.
• Internal: It is also possible to have Datafold disconnected from the internet. This would require an internal DNS (for example, AWS Route 53) record that points to the Datafold instance. It is possible to provide your own certificate for setting up the SSL connection.

Once the deployment is complete, you will point that A-record to the IP address of the Datafold service.

​

Give Datafold Access to AWS

For setting up Datafold, it is required to set up a separate account within your organization where we can deploy Datafold. We’re following the best practices of AWS to allow third-party access.
