How do you hand a client AWS infrastructure their own team can run?

AWS infrastructure built hands-on, with a guide that gets the client’s team up to speed.

01The Background

Freight Alliance needed their application running on AWS. We set up the infrastructure hands-on and wrote an onboarding guide so their team could take it from there.

02The Challenge

Cloud infrastructure only helps if the team can run it after we leave.

01

Many moving parts

Containers, registries, load balancing, certificates and secrets all have to work together.

02

Secure by default

Credentials and certificates needed proper handling from the first day.

03

A team that can take over

The client’s people needed to understand what was built and how to work with it.

Infrastructure nobody understands becomes a risk the moment the engineer who built it moves on.

03The Solution

Set up properly, hands-on, and explained in writing.

Containers on ECS Fargate

The application runs on managed containers, with no servers to look after.

  • ECS Fargate for compute
  • ECR for container images

Traffic, certificates and secrets

The pieces that keep an application reachable and safe.

  • Application Load Balancer
  • ACM certificates and Secrets Manager

Monitoring

The team can see what the system is doing.

  • CloudWatch for logs and metrics

A client-facing onboarding guide

A written guide that explains the set-up to the client’s team.

  • What was built and why
  • How to work with it day to day
04The Results

Infrastructure the client’s team can understand and run.

Freight Alliance has a working AWS set-up and the guide to go with it.

  • The application runs on ECS Fargate with images in ECR.
  • Load balancing, certificates and secrets are in place.
  • CloudWatch gives the team visibility.
  • An onboarding guide was written for the client’s team.
