No, it does not. The container platform APIs do not map one-to-one to Mendix's deployment options, authorization model, or cloud resource usage. However, deployment to Mendix Cloud can be automated using the [Deploy API](/apidocs-mxsdk/apidocs/deploy-api/).

## How Do You Access the Underlying AWS Resources?

Mendix Cloud runs in Mendix's own AWS account; you cannot interact with the AWS APIs directly via Mendix credentials. Mendix Cloud does not offer [VPC peering](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/PeeringGuide/Welcome.html) or VPC connections. All access to Mendix-hosted AWS resources (such as EC2, RDS, and S3) is done via Mendix APIs, such as the [Database API](https://apidocs.rnd.mendix.com/10/runtime/com/mendix/core/Core.html#createXPathQuery(java.lang.String)) and [FileDocument API](https://apidocs.rnd.mendix.com/10/runtime/com/mendix/core/Core.html#storeFileDocumentContent(com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IContext,com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IMendixObject,java.io.InputStream)) in Runtime and the [Deploy API](/apidocs-mxsdk/apidocs/deploy-api/) for cloud resources.

However, you can launch services on your own AWS account, in the same region to minimize latency. Then, you can access those services via connectors in your app.

If you need access to the underlying AWS services, you can choose to deploy your Mendix app to your own AWS account.

## How Can You Deploy to Your AWS Account?

Mendix provides an efficient way for deploying apps directly to your own AWS account by using [Mendix for Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/partners/terraform-modules/mendix-eks/). Running your Mendix application within your AWS environment grants you full control over the runtime environment and reduces latency when you deploy to the same region as your users. It also allows you to access AWS services directly through connectors in your app.

Mendix adds regions based on customer demand. If you would like a different region, contact your Mendix Customer Success Manager to see what Mendix can offer. Note that any request will need to take into account the costs of launching a complete Mendix Cloud cluster, with backup services, monitoring, etc.

Keep in mind that when you deploy to your own AWS account, you are responsible for securing and managing the associated AWS resources.

You can also consider running your Mendix app using your own AWS account, with control over your runtime environment. Mendix provides a streamlined way to deploy your apps in your own AWS account by using [Mendix for Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/partners/terraform-modules/mendix-eks/). If you do this, however, you will be responsible for the security and management of the AWS resources.
