The client
Check how migrating the LMS from on-premise to AWS Cloud & helped CyberDojo to achieve scalability & cost effective infrastructure management.
Client requirements
- Scalable Infrastructure A flexible and scalable environment to seamlessly support the rapid increase in users during the surge in online learning.
- Faster Deployment & Optimized Resource Planning A solution that eliminates delays in hardware procurement and offers clarity on infrastructure needs without overprovisioning.
- Cost-Effectivness & High Availability A cost-efficient infrastructure model (preferably OpEx over CapEx) with 24/7 monitoring and high availability to ensure uninterrupted access for users.
Our approach & solution
With the surge in demand for Learning Management Systems (LMS) during the pandemic, as schools and colleges shifted to online learning, CyberDojo faced a significant increase in users. To address this sudden growth and ensure a smooth learning experience for students, enreap took a systematic and methodological approach. Recognizing the need for scalability to handle the increased user load, enreap proposed a solution that leveraged AWS Cloud infrastructure. This approach allowed CyberDojo to seamlessly scale their LMS platform, ensuring consistent performance and reliability even with the rising number of users. By migrating to a scalable cloud environment, enreap helped CyberDojo meet the growing demand while optimizing costs and maintaining a high level of service availability.
Optimized Instance Selection
We tested different EC2 instance types to determine the best fit for the application’s performance needs and successfully migrated the system from on-premise to AWS.
Scalable Infrastructure with Autoscaling & Load Balancer
To address scalability needs, we set up an autoscaling group between two EC2 instances along with a load balancer, ensuring dynamic resource scaling based on demand.
Enhanced Performance with GP3 EBS & CDN
We recommended GP3 EBS storage to ensure faster performance and enabled CDN services to optimize content delivery and reduce latency.
Comprehensive Monitoring & Security
CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Budget Dashboards were enabled for continuous monitoring, security tracking, and cost management. We also implemented WAF (Web Application Firewall) to protect against security threats.
Managed AWS Services & Cost Optimization
We set up daily backups, implemented AWS Savings Plans to reduce compute costs, and transitioned the client to an OPEX model for monthly usage billing.
Value delivered
- Scalability & Seamless User Onboarding Autoscaling and load balancing ensured smooth onboarding of additional customers, providing a seamless experience even with fluctuating user volumes.
- Cost Optimization & OPEX Model Implementing AWS savings plans reduced infrastructure costs by 20%, enabling the client to operate on an OPEX model without the burden of upfront investments.
- Improved Performance & Reliability Leveraging GP3 EBS storage, CDN services, and AWS-managed solutions enhanced performance, reduced latency, and improved content delivery speed for users.
- Increased Flexibility & Operational Efficiency The ability to quickly adjust configurations and add/remove services enabled rapid response to changing business needs with minimal downtime.
- Enhanced Security & Monitoring AWS security services like WAF, along with CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Budget Dashboards, provided continuous monitoring, visibility, and robust security for their infrastructure.
- Focused Business Growth With AWS infrastructure managed by enreap, the client was able to focus on application development and business growth, while we handled their IT operations.
