Question got answered.
I believe its as easy as the documentation gets here: https://getkong.org/install/aws-marketplace/ , I personally have not tried Kong on a public cloud like AWS but they have a 1 click marketplace feature. Depending on your performance and scale needs you may need to deploy a C* cluster separate though. Remember Kong configurations are controlled via ADMIN REST endpoint, so once your cluster is up try doing some curl’s against the gateway to stand up some proxy routes/services.
