DevOps – EnParadigm Case Study

Executive Summary

Due to the limitations of its infrastructure and architecture, the client’s environment did not have the essential elements such as fault tolerance, robustness in the platform and security. We have migrated 5 Servers.

The Challenge

The major challenge was Creating a highly available, robust and secure platform that can host any type of event regardless of its size. Another challenge was automating the infrastructure in the cloud along with automate pipeline for deployments are essential factors for the platform we used codebuild and also included security, maintenance, monitoring, regular backup recovery policy, and high availability of the servers and VPNs as part of the solution.

Why AWS

AWS is a cloud platform that has all the necessary services to create a robust, multi-tenant, highly available, highly scalable, and secure infrastructure.

Value Adds

• Superior Performance
  This infrastructure provides a fast, resilient and high availability environment for the
  application.
• Monitoring
  Enhanced monitoring and alerting capabilities by configuring AWS CloudWatch.
• LOW TCO
  Saved costs by replacing physical hardware with expensive license fees. With AWS you
  pay for what you use.
• Fully Managed
  With fully managed resource provisioning, maintenance and backup, the client no
  longer has to worry.
• Security
  Improved security posture by following CIS benchmarks and AWS Security Best
  practices.
