The Reality of Cloud Deployment
Deploying MCPs properly on AWS, GCP, or Azure is not trivial. To get it right, you need:- Logging and observability — CloudWatch, Cloud Logging, or Azure Monitor
- Scaling configuration — auto-scaling policies, load balancers
- Networking — VPCs, security groups, IAM roles
- Access controls — who can deploy, who can access logs
- CI/CD pipelines — automated builds and deployments
- Health checks and alerting — know when things break
Recommended Services
If you must deploy on cloud providers, use managed container services. They handle scaling and infrastructure, reducing (but not eliminating) the DevOps burden.AWS: Fargate with ECS
AWS Fargate runs containers without managing servers. Combine it with ECS for orchestration.Step 1: Create Dockerfile
Step 2: Build and Push to ECR
Step 3: Create ECS Service
GCP: Cloud Run
Cloud Run is GCP’s fully managed container platform. It’s simpler than Fargate for basic deployments.Step 1: Build with Cloud Build
Step 2: Deploy to Cloud Run
Azure: Container Apps
Azure Container Apps is Microsoft’s serverless container platform.Step 1: Create Container Registry
Step 2: Build and Push
Step 3: Deploy Container App
Adding Monitoring
Cloud providers require you to configure monitoring yourself:AWS CloudWatch
GCP Cloud Monitoring
