Deployment of EDACaP Frontend to Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) Infrastructure

This deployment guide describes the strategic transition of EDACaP’s frontend hosting to EIAR’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure, intended to secure the platform's long-term sustainability, enhance national ownership, and develop in-house technical capacity. It outlines the technical procedure for containerizing a React-based frontend application, uploading the Docker image to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and deploying it as a scalable web service via AWS App Runner. The document serves as a step-by-step technical manual for EIAR’s IT staff, capacitating them to confidently manage and maintain the platform, therefore institutionalizing the knowledge and ownership of this crucial agroclimatic advisory tool.
