AWS Config Service Delivery
Industry: MMTC
Partner: i2k2 Networks
Customer Overview
MMTC is a leading public sector enterprise engaged in international trading and mineral exploration. To modernize its IT operations, MMTC adopted Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host its digital platforms. The organization operates in a regulated environment and requires strict governance, auditability, and security controls across all cloud environments.
MMTC’s cloud setup consists of separate UAT and Production environments, supported by a centralized Governance account. Applications are deployed using Amazon EKS, with all infrastructure provisioned using Terraform and deployments managed through Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
The customer’s primary objective was to build a secure, compliant, and scalable cloud platform that ensures visibility into resource configurations and enforces compliance across all AWS accounts.
Business Challenges
MMTC faced increasing pressure to meet regulatory and audit requirements while scaling their cloud adoption. The lack of centralized visibility and automated controls created risks related to unauthorized changes, security gaps, and audit non-compliance.
Manual compliance checks were time-consuming and inconsistent, and there was no real-time mechanism to detect configuration drift. The organization needed a standardized governance framework that could operate across multiple environments while supporting continuous application delivery.
Key Challenges
- No centralized compliance and configuration tracking
- Risk of configuration drift between UAT and Production
- Manual and reactive audit processes
- Lack of automated remediation for non-compliant resources
- Limited visibility into security posture across AWS accounts
AWS-Powered Solution by i2k2 Networks
i2k2 Networks designed and implemented a centralized AWS Config SDP-based governance framework for MMTC. The solution integrates AWS Config, CloudTrail, IAM, KMS, Lambda, and S3 into a secure, automated compliance and monitoring platform.
A shared Governance account aggregates configuration data from UAT and Production using AWS Config Aggregators. Conformance Packs enforce compliance standards, while Lambda functions automatically remediate violations. All logs and configuration snapshots are stored in encrypted, versioned S3 buckets.
Solution Highlights
- Multi-account governance architecture
- AWS Config rules, aggregators, and conformance packs
- Centralized audit logging with CloudTrail
- Automated remediation using Lambda
- Encrypted and versioned S3 storage
- Role-based IAM with SSO
- Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning
- Jenkins CI/CD integration
