Chapter 5. Deploying Red Hat Quay on public cloud
Red Hat Quay runs on public clouds in standalone mode or when OpenShift Container Platform runs on public cloud. You can use public cloud backend services for high availability and scalability and refer to the Quay Enterprise 3.x Tested Integrations for supported configurations.
Recommendation: If Red Hat Quay is running on public cloud, then you should use the public cloud services for Red Hat Quay backend services to ensure proper high availability and scalability.
5.1. Running Red Hat Quay on Amazon Web Services
When you run Red Hat Quay on Amazon Web Services, you can use AWS Elastic Load Balancer, S3 storage, RDS, and ElastiCache Redis for backend services. You can reference the overview and EC2 instance recommendations when planning your AWS deployment.
If Red Hat Quay is running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can use the following features:
- AWS Elastic Load Balancer
- AWS S3 (hot) blob storage
- AWS RDS database
- AWS ElastiCache Redis
- EC2 virtual machine recommendation: M3.Large or M4.XLarge

5.2. Running Red Hat Quay on Microsoft Azure
When you run Red Hat Quay on Microsoft Azure, you can use Azure managed PostgreSQL, Blob Storage (hot), and Azure Cache for Redis for backend services. You can reference the overview when planning your Azure deployment.
