# Ingress on AWS

> Plan AWS ingress, endpoint hostnames, DNS, and appBaseUrl for a self-hosted Arize AX deployment on EKS.

## Overview

Use this page when exposing Arize AX from EKS through the AWS load-balancing pattern your platform team supports. The exact controller and annotations vary by environment, so treat this page as the AWS-specific planning companion to [Configuring ingress and endpoints](/ax/selfhosting/installation/ingress/configuring-endpoints). If you provisioned AWS load-balancer-controller roles or networking with Terraform, keep those outputs aligned with the ingress manifests you apply.

## Endpoint planning

Before applying ingress manifests, decide:

* The hostname users will use for the Arize AX UI.
* Whether the cluster uses one endpoint or multiple endpoint hostnames.
* Where TLS terminates.
* Which ingress controller or AWS load balancer integration your platform supports.

Set `appBaseUrl` in `values.yaml` to the UI hostname users will keep:

```yaml theme={null}
appBaseUrl: "https://<arize-app.domain>"
```

## Example manifests

Review the endpoint examples included in the extracted distribution under `examples/endpoints/`. Use the example that matches your ingress controller, then replace placeholder hosts, TLS references, and service names as needed for your AWS environment.

For NGINX, Istio, Kong, and other non-cloud-specific controllers, use [Ingress - NGINX, Istio, Kong, and others](/ax/selfhosting/installation/ingress/other-controllers).

## DNS and validation

After applying ingress resources:

```bash theme={null}
kubectl -n arize get ingress
kubectl -n arize describe ingress
```

Point DNS at the load balancer address and verify resolution:

```bash theme={null}
nslookup arize-app.<my-organization-domain>
```

Then open the UI hostname and continue with [Validate deployment](/ax/selfhosting/installation/validate-deployment).
