Developer Self Service Access to DeepSeek on Amazon EKS

A few weeks back, Tiago Reichert from AWS published a very interesting blog on AWS Community showcasing how you can deploy and use the DeepSeek-R1 LLM on an Amazon EKS Cluster operating in Auto Mode. Detailed step-by-step instructions for this are documented in this Git Repo.

In this blog, we will describe how we took AWS's excellent blog and packaged it to provide a turnkey, 1-click self-service experience for non AWS administrator type users in a typical enterprise. It took one of our solution architects 30 minutes to wrap AWS's example code using Rafay's Environment Manager and PaaS.

Over the last few weeks, we have been asked to demonstrate this every day to several customers and partners. Given the significant interest in DeepSeek and the self service experience, we believe others will benefit from this blog.

Get Started with Auto Mode for Amazon EKS with Rafay

This is Part 3 in our series on Amazon EKS Auto Mode. In the previous posts, we explored:

  1. Part 1: An Introduction: Learn the core concepts and benefits of EKS Auto Mode.
  2. Part 2: Considerations: Understand the key considerations before Configuring EKS Auto Mode.

In this post, we will dive into the steps required to build and manage an Amazon EKS cluster with Auto Mode template using the Rafay Platform. This exercise is specifically well suited for platform teams interested in providing their end users with a controlled self-service experience with centralized governance.
