Deploy MCP on AWS EC2
Deploy MCP servers on AWS EC2 with Docker, security groups, TLS, logs, and Mumbai-region planning.
Quick Answer / TL;DR
Deploy MCP on EC2 by containerizing the server, restricting security groups, terminating TLS, storing secrets outside images, and shipping logs to a central system.
Key Takeaways
- Use least-open security groups.
- Run behind TLS.
- Patch the host regularly.
EC2 baseline
EC2 gives control over runtime and networking. That control also means you own patching, firewalling, process supervision, and log retention.
