AWS Cloud architecture diagram for the PACIFIC platform showing a multi-layered system. At the top, a PACIFIC Web Client connects to an Identity & Authorization layer containing Amazon Cognito, AWS IAM, and AWS Secrets Manager. Traffic flows through AWS WAF to an Application Load Balancer within a VPC, which distributes requests to Amazon ECS (AWS Fargate) hosting four containerized microservices: core-modules, integration-module, pcf-exchange-module, and edc-dtr-module. These modules connect to Amazon RDS for relational database storage and Amazon S3 for object storage. External integrations at the bottom include BASF Product Carbon Footprint Services, an EDC/DTR Service Provider, and the Catena-X Automotive Network. The diagram illustrates a secure, microservices-based architecture for automotive industry carbon footprint data exchange.
