Quick Deploy with CloudFormation (Recommended)

Deploy complete infrastructure with our CloudFormation template.

Template URL: https://kanu-public-templates.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cloudformation/kanu-platform.yaml 

Prerequisites

AWS VPC with public and private subnets (2 or more availability zones) NAT Gateway configured in private subnets ACM certificate for your domain (for HTTPS) License key from KANU (contact sales@getkanu.com ) Corporate IP ranges for access control

Deployment Steps

Step 1: Download Template

curl -O https://kanu-public-templates.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cloudformation/kanu-platform.yaml 

Step 2: Deploy via AWS CLI (or AWS console)

Use this command to deploy the platform in production. Alternatively, simply upload the CF stack to in your AWS console. Replace placeholder values with your infrastructure details.

aws cloudformation create-stack
--stack-name kanu-platform-production
--template-url file://kanu-platform.yaml
--parameters
ParameterKey=VpcId,ParameterValue=vpc-XXXXXXXXX
ParameterKey=PublicSubnetIds,ParameterValue=subnet-AAAA,subnet-BBBB
ParameterKey=EnvironmentName,ParameterValue=production
ParameterKey=DesiredTaskCount,ParameterValue=2
--capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
--region us-west-2
--tags
Key=Environment,Value=Production
Key=Application,Value=KANU-Platform
Key=ManagedBy,Value=CloudFormation

Monitor deployment status: aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name kanu-platform-production --query 'Stacks[0].StackStatus'

Get application URL once deployment completes: aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name kanu-platform-production --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==ApplicationURL].OutputValue' --output text

Alternatively, go to the cloudformation stack's resources, then the Application load balancer, then the DNS entry under "Details".

Stack deployment typically takes 15-20 minutes to complete.

Step 4: Wait for Completion

Stack deployment takes 15-20 minutes.

Authentication

Users authenticate via AWS Cognito User Pool (created by CloudFormation).

To go to the signup page, navigate to: your_application_url/signup

Data Isolation

All resources deployed in YOUR VPC. No data leaves your AWS account.

Security and Access Control

IP Whitelisting (Built-In)

The platform includes IP-based access control via ALB Security Groups.

Specify allowed IP ranges during deployment. Parameter name: AllowedCIDRs Example value: 10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12

Only traffic from these ranges can access the platform on HTTPS (port 443).

Common Examples: Internal network only: 10.0.0.0/8 Multiple offices: 10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12 VPN users: 192.168.100.0/24 Specific IP: 203.0.113.45/32
