Mendix Cloud is where licensed Mendix applications are deployed to a scalable, enterprise-grade cloud platform.

Apps deployed to Mendix Cloud run in Cloud Foundry clusters that are hosted on highly available Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions. You can deploy apps from Mendix Studio Pro, Mendix Portal or via [Mendix APIs](/apidocs-mxsdk/apidocs/deploy-api/), and run them across many regions of the world.

## 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 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, when you launch your services in your own AWS account, you can access those services via connectors in your app.

## 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.
