In this article we see how to store and retrieve files on AWS S3 using Elixir and with the help of ExAws. (If you want to use ExAws with DigitalOcean Spaces instead, you can read ExAws with DigitalOcean Spaces)

This article has a bit more of DevOps flavour than the previous articles, focused more on Elixir. In this article I show how to easily run a multi-zone Kubernetes cluster on AWS, where we’ll deploy a Phoenix Chat application.

There are many ways to deploy a Kubernetes cluster on AWS (Amazon Web Services). At the moment, AWS offers EKS, Elastic Kubernetes Service, which helps us deploy and manage our Kubernetes clusters. It costs $0.20/hr, which is $144/month: that’s not cheap actually, especially if we want to run a small cluster. And it’s not just about the cost: I find EKS still too young, preferring kops over it.
