Industry:
IoT wearables platform
Offering:
Managed Services
AWS Services:
Amazon EC2, Amazon S3 Glacier, AWS RDS, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Route53, Amazon CloudWatch, etc.
Business Need:
AWS Infrastructure Support for a Dynamic Environment
Client’s workloads on AWS across three environments: Production, QA, and Staging. These environments span multiple AWS regions, including Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and US East (N. Virginia). The workload consists of various services such as EC2 instances, RDS (Relational Database Service), Lambda functions, API Gateway, CloudFront, and AWS Security Services. To meet their evolving needs and maintain a competitive edge, Customer required a trusted partner to provide comprehensive managed services for their AWS infrastructure.
Implementation:
Streamlining Operations and Optimizing Performance
To address Customer requirements, we embarked on a series of strategic implementations, ensuring the smooth functioning of the IoT platform:
- Route53 domain transfer: Effortlessly transferred the domain across AWS accounts, enabling seamless management and administration.
- Email setup for cron status: Configured an SNS (Simple Notification Service) topic to receive email notifications regarding cron job statuses, enabling proactive monitoring and issue resolution.
- Cost optimization: Leveraged AWS cost optimization best practices to maximize savings without compromising performance or user experience.
- GP2 to GP3 volume type migration: Identified opportunities to optimize storage costs and improve performance by migrating GP2 (General Purpose SSD) volume types to GP3, which offers better price-to-performance ratios.
- Automated backups: Automated AMI (Amazon Machine Image) and snapshot creation, scheduled EC2 instance backups, and created automated responses to CloudWatch alarms. These measures ensured data protection, disaster recovery preparedness, and minimized downtime.
- Enhanced security: Configured CloudTrail for comprehensive account-level activity logging and auditing, providing visibility into AWS API activities. Additionally, implemented AWS GuardDuty and Config for enhanced security monitoring and compliance adherence.
