The client, a nursing education provider based in Australia, offers academic and training programs to students across the region. Their operations heavily rely on an ERP application used by students and staff for accessing course materials, managing schedules, and other administrative functions.

The client needed a reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure to:

• Host multiple web applications for their projects.
• Ensure high availability and fault tolerance to handle unpredictable traffic spikes.
• Provide a cost-effective solution with reliable performance to support their growing user base.

We designed and deployed a cloud-based solution leveraging AWS services to meet the client’s requirements:

1. Compute Resources with EC2 and Autoscaling:

• Hosted the web applications on Amazon EC2 instances for flexible compute capacity.
• Configured Auto Scaling to dynamically adjust the number of instances based on traffic, ensuring seamless performance during high-demand periods.

2. Storage Solutions:

• Implemented Amazon EFS for scalable and shared file storage across applications.
• Leveraged Amazon S3 for durable and cost-effective storage of static assets, such as images, documents, and reports.

3. High Availability with Load Balancing:

• Deployed an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to distribute incoming traffic evenly across multiple EC2 instances, enhancing availability and performance.

4. Database Optimization:

• Migrated application data to Amazon RDS, providing a managed, scalable, and secure relational database solution with automated backups.

5. Seamless Deployment with AWS CodeDeploy:

• Automated application updates using AWS CodeDeploy, ensuring consistent and error-free deployments with minimal downtime.

6. Support and Monitoring:

• Set up AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring of infrastructure performance and resource utilization.
• Delivered 24/7 support and maintenance to ensure smooth operations and address issues proactively.

• Scalable and Reliable Infrastructure: Applications are now hosted on a highly available AWS environment with dynamic scaling to handle varying traffic demands.
• Improved Performance: Downtime and performance issues were eliminated, ensuring uninterrupted access for users across multiple projects.
• Cost Efficiency: AWS’s pay-as-you-go model optimized resource utilization, reducing operational costs.
• Operational Excellence: Automated deployments and database management enhanced efficiency and reliability.
