The Challenge
Speeding Up Time-to-Market, Cost Optimization, and Streamlined Operations.
- Speed up development times and optimize costs, so as to boost business productivity.
- Overcome the limits of the old, rigid, barely-automated legacy infrastructure which was thus difficult to manage.
- Free the DevOps team from tasks such as capacity planning, backup, hardware update management and all activities with low added value.
The Solution
Building a Geographically Redundant, Granular, Hybrid Architecture for Maximum Uptime.
- Implementation of an automated hybrid infrastructure, orchestrated using opensource tools
- Adoption of services such as Amazon Route 53 for the advanced management of DNS, Amazon CloudFront for a very low latency distribution of content AWS Certificate Manager to instantly obtain SSL certificates.
- Use of Amazon EC2 to get computing power, Amazon S3 for durable, reliable, and efficient storage and spot instances for maximum cost optimization.
