Case Study
Entertainment Company
Dev Ops, automation and managed services excellence in AWS
Overview A leading entertainment company responsible for operating several casinos and resorts within Australia were looking for a trusted AWS partner to assist in the migration and optimisation of their popular public websites to the cloud.
Business Challenge Our customer was looking to migrate their entire public website infrastructure from a third party hosted virtual platform into the AWS cloud to leverage the benefits of scalability and flexibility. As part of this process they were looking to implement DevOps best practices to automate and streamline their build and deployment pipeline. This involved a complete website redesign with the introduction of new tools sets and technologies to maximise the benefit from their investment in cloud infrastructure. Another challenge was to seamlessly cutover online services whilst ensuring that the customer experience and the end to end site performance was not adversely effected.
AWS Backed Solution The AWS platform provided a number of managed services that were easy to deploy and enabled the customer to spend less time on systems administration and more time developing and releasing improvements and feature enhancements to their online applications. Configuration management tools such as Puppet were used to build and manage a consistent repeatable fleet. By implementing a real time cross site active/active architecture, the need for a full time dormant disaster recovery site was made redundant, thus reducing cost and resource wastage.

Benefits Cloudten were able to identify a number of performance bottlenecks with the architectural design during the pre-‐release stages of the project, and provide tangible recommendation to both remove single points of failure and improve end to end reliability. In addition to AWS specific components, our in-‐depth knowledge and experience with the web middleware stack, including reverse proxies and content management systems, enabled us to become a trusted single point of contact for our customer’s entire online infrastructure. Our relationship with the company has grown to the extent that we are now their primary managed service provider delivering ongoing consulting as well as 24/7 support for complex AWS issues.
