Has anyone deployed Spring cloud data flow as an AWS EC2 instance with kafka binder in MSK? I'm looking for the feasibility of leveraging EC2 for SCDF.

I have enabled actuator end points in my springboot microservice which is deployed inside AWS EKS pod. Now i want to push health information to AWS cloudwatch. Can someone please guide me on how to achieve this.
I am going to create a kubernetes cluster to deploy all my spring boot microservices. Currently I have a spring cloud gateway server, a eureka discovery server and my back-end and front-end applications.
Do we need gateway server and discovery server if deployed on kubernetes, as these services are provided as part of cluster?
Thanks.
You are not required to use the Spring Cloud Gateway or Eureka discovery server. Kubernetes provides all basic building blocks (like Service) implemented without additional software requirements (for example with plain DNS).
If you need a more advanced setup you can integrate kubernetes API in Spring applications or use other ways to integrate. For the 90% case there is no need to do so.
Are there any document for deploying Spring Cloud Data Flow on AWS EKS? I am looking for example or guide video about this problem.
There are no special instructions for running SCDF on EKS or any other K8s distribution. As far as you have a K8s cluster and the necessary service accounts, you will be able to provision SCDF on a given namespace.
You can either use the release-tagged deployment YAMLs directly or the SCDF's Bitnami Helm chart. Depending on your customization needs, you'll find the deployment YAMLs more flexible, though.
I am migrating a Spring Boot application from PCF to AWS ECS which is currently using cloud config server reading properties from git repo, and aws RDS. Now in ECS is there a way we can implement config servers along with refresh in ECS AWS.
I think ECS operates on a different level.
Spring Cloud Config server is a solution that works especially good with spring boot based applications. For example, a refresh option that you've mentioned is implemented as a special Scope which is purely a spring (applicative) thing.
On the other hand, AWS ECS (stands for Elastic Container Service) provides a way to work with containers in a general sense (with scaling and everything). It doesn't require the containers to be spring-based or even java based.
So, I think you might want to consider keeping a spring boot driven microservice for config server just like you have now, but wrap it into docker container and deploy it in AWS ECS
I am trying to learn and create a microservice using Spring Cloud. I am using Spring mvc and Spring Boot for development. I added separate Spring Boot application for both Eureka server and Zuul client. I have three Spring Boot application now. One Sureka server, one for Zuul routing and third one is for my microservice application. I run the Eureka server and the microservice and Zuul found to be running properly in Eureka server UI.
My doubt is that, I am planned to use routing and service discovery in my microservice. So I have a total of three Spring Boot applications. Can I deploy these three applications into AWS Elastic Beanstalk?
When I exploring I found that Pivotal Cloud Foundry topic. Since I am planing to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk. So what is the role of Pivotal Cloud Foundry in my application?
I am still confused about microservice development using Spring Cloud.
So there are two elements in your confusion. Is Amazon Beanstalk suitable?
So answer is yes. but you have overhead of orchestrating various services of amazon over then. Basically Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is more form based which means you need to tell what exactly you want to do with application for example route setup , scaling mechanism , application portability, application health management , Integration with external log aggregators etc. This is big learning curve to many people (including me :) ). Where as these with PCF these things are easy and straightforward and sometimes implicitly done.
Now Can I use pivotal cloud foundry with amazon? answer will be absolutely yes.
Pivotal cloud foundry is Wrapper written over open source Cloud Foundry project.
It is more succinct PaaS option than Amazon Beanstalk. You can host PCF on amazon ec2 ( IaaS )boxes using BOSH software. To answer you PCF is a alternative to Amazon Beanstalk. You don't need PCF is you want to use Amazon Beanstalk and vice versa.
