Modatso Limited – Software Development Center
Specialising in Software systems for across Industries.
Over the past years, Modestano outgrew their environment’s needs for Cloud.
The need for implementing cloud-based scalable and flexible cost model for their customers.
Reliability, Security and Scalability
Customer Challenges
Modestano needed help with its AWS simplification initiatives for its current AWS infrastructure. By clearing up unwanted AWS services, Modestano increased the flexibility, security, reliability, and cost transparency of its web applications.
Modestano could not auto-scale during their pick times, and the website often went down, costing them customers an unwanted experience.
Modestano would also like to discover a wider range of AWS services features, including API Gateway, EC2, RDS, Load-balancing, and Flexible S3 auto-archiving features.
In addition, Modestano would utilise a set of automations for events of monitoring such as cloud trials and SQS/ SNS when problems occur
Secure / with No single point of Failure
Our Solution
Cloudformation templates stack were used to build the VPC and related networking dependencies for the services.
CloudiQS’s first phase involved migrating Windows-related dependencies from on-premise systems, which were integrated into the main website, which consisted of multiple back-end web servers.
Created a new secure VPC with related networking components. Placed securely behind a multi-node load balancer and a multi-availability zone database for the application
back end. The website can withstand multiple server failures without downtime. As with any public-facing service, security is a key aspect to consider.
CloudiQS also introduced least-privileged security controls for the developers and their remote engineers, allowing them to access what they require and any resources, and enabling multi-factor authentication as a requirement.
With AWS, the company also realizes greater infrastructure agility, flexibility, elasticity, global availability, and significant annual cost savings.
Cost savings. Secure and fully Redundant
The Results
- AWS Organisations, Created a single consolidated billing for both Dev and Prod accounts.
- Dev / Prod Environments, Created separate accounts for each environment within a secure VPC
- Amazon RDS is a database backend that spreads across multiple availability zones for high availability.
- Lambda / API Gateway, allowing the systems to integrate with third parties.
- AWS Elastic Beanstalk, for managed Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Group, spread across 2 Availability Zones for scalability and maximum fault tolerance.
- Amazon ELB, to balance traffic across the instances.
- Amazon S3, object storage for static files.
- Amazon CloudFront, related for edge caching, reduces the overall load on the system by caching where appropriate.
- AWS CloudTrail, to monitor the IAM actions taking place on the account.
