Current Infrastructure
Shobiz Digital initially ran on legacy infrastructure and every year spent upfront costs to procure the infra and devices for the hosting event planned for that particular year. Every year they have to spend refreshing the infra by changing the aged devices and equipment and also procuring the huge infra to handle the huge traffic at the time of the event. Shobiz Digital also has a separate mechanism to ensure the security of the infrastructure and also follows the same procedure to spend upfront costs for security devices and licenses.
As infrastructure is in an on-prem Datacenter then maintenance and manageability is another important task for their organization.
In addition, to achieve reliable cloud services and resiliency, Shobiz Digital contacted us for consultancy and here we guided and helped them to decide the best platform to achieve the best performing platform as per there need.
The Challenge
We have decided to on-board Shobiz Digital on the AWS cloud platform. Here we can eliminate their unnecessary expenses on irrelevant IT infra and services. The main challenges are:
- 1. Achieve autoscaling at the time of heavy traffic during the events as per demand
- 2. Deploy appropriate security mechanisms in place
- 3. Achieve resiliency to recover from any kind of failure in case of any mishappening with the infra
- 4. Provide support and management for the Cloud Architecture
The Solution
For Shobiz Digital we have deployed the workloads in Multi-AZ as per the best practices. There are two Application modules that are handling different modules that run simultaneously at the time of the event. Workloads are hosted in the private subnet and access can only be made through the VPN. The traffic from the public internet only comes via the WAF and then Load Balancers.
Databases are deployed using RDS Aurora MySQL (Serverless) in Multi-AZ in the private subnet only with no public access.
The whole infrastructure is architected in the Multi-AZ environment with the AWS best practices.
Security
- 1. AWS WAF is provided to protect apps and APIs against bots and exploits that consume resources, skew metrics, or cause downtime.
- 2. AWS GuardDuty is deployed for threat detection and it also continuously monitor the infra to detect any kind of malicious activity.
- 3. AWS Standard Shield is also provided to protect from the DDOS attack and safeguard the applications running on the AWS infra.
- 4. Important instances are kept in the private subnet and user access can be provided by using VPN.
- 5. AWS Security Hub is deployed here for security posture management service that automates best practice checks, aggregates alerts and supports automated remediation.
- 6. To ensure the AWS best practices we have also deployed the AWS Trusted Advisor.
- 7. Access Management and Security of Keys achieved using the KMS and Secret Manager.
- 8. MFA is also implemented to provide an extra layer of authentication.
