# AWS Elastic Beanstalk

## AWS EBS Setup

NGSurvey can also be deployed under any AWS EBS stack in just a few minutes using one of the following installation link depending if you choose to activate the NGINX reverse proxy on your EBS configuration or not. 

* [Nginx Enabled AWS Elastic Beanstalk install source package](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/home?region=eu-central-1#/newApplication?applicationName=ngSurvey\&platform=docker\&environmentType=SingleInstance\&withRds=true\&rdsDBEngine=sqlserver-ex\&sourceBundleUrl=https://ngsurvey.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/ngsurveyeenginx.aws.zip) \
  Configures ngSurvey with a pre-configured Nginx reverse proxy. Recommended. 

* [AWS Elastic Beanstalk install source package](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/home?region=eu-central-1#/newApplication?applicationName=ngSurvey\&platform=docker\&environmentType=SingleInstance\&withRds=true\&rdsDBEngine=sqlserver-ex\&sourceBundleUrl=https://ngsurvey.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/ngsurveyee.aws.zip)\
  Configures ngSurvey without default Nginx configuration. Recommended only if you dont want to run behind a reverse proxy or want to configure Nginx manually.

In order to deploy ngSurvey under AWS you may check following [step by step tutorial](/installation-setup/installation/amazon-web-services/aws-elastic-beanstalk/aws-ebs-step-by-step.md).  

## Load balancing

If you are running ngSurvey on multiple cluster nodes make sure that you [enable distributed caching](/installation-setup/installation/cluster-scale-out-configuration.md) if you run ngSurvey on multiple server instance to share the load.

## Database setup

Out of the box ngSurvey will automatically configure / create / update the database that is specified in your connection string. Note that If you run your container under AWS ngSurvey will automatically pick up all RDS connection properties.\
\
If you don't want to have ngSurvey update automatically your database you can turn off the automatic database setup by setting the environment variable NGSurvey:AutoDBSetup to false.\
\
If you prefer to do a manual database setup you may grab the DACPAC file from the container's app/database directory of the archive and follow the Microsoft SQL Server database installation procedure.
