THE SITUATION
A Federal Banking Institution requested support in reviewing the architecture and roadmap for the migration of the e-Invoicing application to a cloud environment. The application was described as a highly complex architecture with technology implementations requiring expertise in application, database, and security to understand, design and develop an AWS Gov Cloud roadmap and level of effort estimate. The goal was to provide our client the ability to evaluate its options for continued use of the system after sunsetting its data center and offer recommendations on operations within the cyber security monitoring team.
THE APPROACH
-
Collaborative Needs Assessment
Our client engaged us to assess their proposed environment and architecture design.
-
Cloud Environment Establishment
We helped our client establish a cloud-based environment for continued operation of a critical application after on-premises datacenter shutdown.
-
Scalability and Deployment
Cloud resources were to allow for rapid deployment and high scalability without significant change to the existing application.
THE RESULTS
FIPS Compliance
Identified several areas where meeting FIPS compliance requirements was not possible in original architecture.
Deployment Design
Recommended Blue/Green deployment design.
Cloud Formation Templates
Provided sample Cloud Formation Templates (with in-line comments) for Financial Banking Institution use.
CIDR Block Concerns
Identified concern with CIDR block assignment.
Automation Maturity
Existing maturity of on-premises automation using WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) demonstrated a mature team and a solid head start on automation in cloud environments.
Future Positioning
Federal Banking Institution goals for containerization and serverless technologies will ultimately position the enterprise for more supportable and resilient solutions in the future.
