Transforming Cloud Operations: Provisioning AWS Infrastructure with CloudFormation
ABOUT THE CUSTOMER

Our customer has been crafting bespoke solutions for prestigious banking clients like Deutsche Bank. Recently, They expanded their services to the academic sector. Their mission is to create software solutions for finance, industry, and higher education organizations that enable comprehensive risk management across all operations. By focusing on a client-centric approach, Arlanto ensures that they thoroughly understand each organization’s unique needs, allowing them to customize software solutions that align perfectly with specific requirements.

THE CHALLENGE |

Previously customer was manually deploying their applications to an on-premises environment. This approach lacked key features such as high availability, scalability, and a disaster recovery (DR) strategy. The manual processes not only increased the risk of errors but also made it difficult to respond quickly to changes in demand or unexpected outages, leaving their operations vulnerable and inefficient.

THE SOLUTION |

The CloudifyOps team implemented a comprehensive AWS infrastructure solution using CloudFormation templates. This setup included VPC configurations, EC2 servers, security groups, an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon RDS database, CloudTrail, Web Application Firewall (WAF), Route 53, CloudWatch, S3, ACM, Secrets Manager, Parameter Store, AWS Lambda, IAM, and a robust disaster recovery strategy. The infrastructure ensures high availability and resilience with multi-AZ deployments and automated backups integrated directly into the CloudFormation templates.

The banking application was deployed with a robust architecture, hosting both frontend and backend applications on AWS EC2 instances in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region. These instances are distributed across multiple availability zones to ensure high availability. The RDS for MySQL was implemented using a Multi-AZ model with a parameter group, providing redundancy and seamless failover. Keycloak was integrated within a private subnet for secure user authentication, enhanced by an SOS (Single Sign-On) solution for a seamless user experience.

To ensure comprehensive monitoring and logging, CloudWatch agents were installed on EC2 servers to capture vital metrics, and log groups were set up for the RDS database. CloudTrail was configured to track and record all events, providing a comprehensive audit trail. ALB access and connection logs were enabled to monitor traffic, ensuring the security and performance of the applications. This solution meets modern application demands with a focus on automation, scalability, disaster recovery, and adherence to industry standards for security and high availability.

BENEFITS DELIVERED |

After engaging with our team, the CloudifyOps team provisioned the infrastructure using CloudFormation in AWS. This automated approach resulted in a more than 90% reduction in manual effort, significantly boosting operational efficiency. 

We have implemented multiple measures to ensure high availability, scalability, and disaster recovery for our database infrastructure. The deployment includes read replicas and Multi-AZ configurations, enhancing data redundancy and performance.

We also take daily snapshots to ensure point-in-time recovery, safeguarding against data loss.

Additionally, we achieved a 99.9% uptime, enabled by advanced high availability and scalability measures, such as load balancing and automatic failover across availability zones.

Our robust disaster recovery (DR) strategy reduced recovery times by 80%, ensuring a rapid response to potential disruptions. These steps significantly improve system reliability and minimize downtime, further supporting our business continuity goals.

In the future, we are planning to implement an Auto Scaling Group to further enhance scalability and handle traffic spikes seamlessly, ensuring even greater availability and system resilience.

The shift to AWS also cut deployment times by 70%, minimized human error, and delivered a more reliable and efficient operational environment for the customer.
