# Technologies Utilized

The PASS production infrastructure and operations are composed of a variety of technologies. The chosen technology stack was desirable for its ease of setup, support for CI/CD, and scalability.

## Technologies Utilized

* [Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing](https://aws.amazon.com): Many AWS resources are used for the majority of the infrastructure including virtual servers (EC2), Amazon Relational Database service (RDS, using a PostgreSQL instance), Elastic Container Service (ECS), and a variety of others.
* [AWS Account Management](https://aws.amazon.com/account/): Used to create Service Roles and "least privilege" Policies that are used by AWS resources running PASS components.
* [AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/): Used in the development, testing, and management of the JHU PASS infrastructure.
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/): Docker is used in all our environments for running the main components of the PASS application.
* [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions): GitHub Actions are used for deployment and CI/CD operations.
