The Challenge

The customer faced significant challenges with their current setup on Azure, where both their production and testing environments were running on a single virtual machine. This configuration posed risks to reliability and performance, as any issues or downtime on the VM could impact all operations simultaneously. Seeking a more robust solution, the customer approached CloudThat Technologies to assist in migrating their infrastructure to AWS.

Solutions

  • Migrating to separate Amazon EC2 instances for production and testing environments eliminates the risk of simultaneous downtime or performance issues, ensuring that each environment can operate independently.
  • The use of a load balancer distributes incoming traffic evenly, reducing the risk of overloading any single instance and ensuring high availability.
  • We have Installed the MGN agent on the Azure VM and Utilizing AWS MGN with replication, launch, and post-launch templates ensures a smooth and efficient migration process with minimal downtime, allowing for flexible and manageable workload transitions.
  • Deploying the Aurora PostgreSQL cluster in a private subnet improves database performance and reliability, offering a robust and scalable database solution.
  • Configured Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the performance and health of the Amazon EC2 instances, providing real-time insights and alerting on potential issues.
  • Enabling AWS CloudTrail to track and log user activities ensures detailed logging and compliance, providing transparency and accountability for all actions within the AWS environment.
  • The solution makes the customer’s infrastructure more robust, secure, and flexible, addressing the critical challenges of reliability, performance, and operational efficiency inherent in their previous Azure setup.

The Results

Migrating databases to AWS resulted in significant cost savings, improved infrastructure robustness, security, and flexibility, while also eliminating database administration overhead and reducing latency by 20%.
