what is the recommended approach to deploying an agent on AWS? Just the agent - using Livekit Cloud.

Thanks for reaching out, Dima. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hey there! If you’re looking to deploy an agent on AWS using LiveKit Cloud, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you out: 1. Authenticate with LiveKit Cloud: Just run 
lk cloud auth
using the LiveKit CLI to get yourself logged in. 2. Create and Deploy the Agent: Head over to your project folder and run 
lk agent create
. This will set up a new agent, generate a 
livekit.toml
config file, and deploy your agent to LiveKit Cloud all at once. 3. Monitor the Agent: Keep an eye on how things are going with 
lk agent status
, and if you want to peek at the logs, just use 
lk agent logs
. 4. Deploy Updates: When you have updates, deploy them smoothly with 
lk agent deploy
, which supports rolling deployments so everything stays nice and stable. Make sure your project has a valid Dockerfile since that’s needed for deployment. You can also pick deployment regions by tweaking the 
livekit.toml
file or using CLI flags—whatever works best for you. For more info, check out the LiveKit Cloud Documentation. And if you hit any bumps or have questions, just give me a shout—I’m here to help! Sources: Deploying to LiveKit Cloud | LiveKit Docs | cmd/lk/agent.go

If you're looking to deploy an agent on AWS without using LiveKit Cloud, a great way to do this is by using AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) with Docker containers and AWS CloudFormation. Here’s a simple rundown of how you can get started: 1. Set Up Infrastructure: Start by using AWS CloudFormation to set up your VPC, subnets, IAM roles, and ECS clusters. 2. Prepare Secrets: Keep your LiveKit credentials (API key, secret, and URL) safe by storing them in AWS Secrets Manager. 3. Build and Push Docker Image: Build your agent’s Docker image and push it to Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry). 4. Deploy ECS Resources: Use the CloudFormation template to create ECS task definitions and services. 5. Update Services: When you have updates, just update the ECS service with the new Docker image. This method uses AWS Fargate to handle containers serverlessly and keeps your secrets secure with AWS Secrets Manager. For more detailed steps and example configs, check out the AWS ECS deployment example. If you want, I’m happy to share specific code snippets or help you through any part of this setup—just let me know! Sources: render.com/README.md
