Implementation of Amazon EFS for ideaForge Technology Ltd

Conclusion

Delivering Measurable Impact

• Data Volume : Initial audits showed 20 TB of data, predominantly consisting of large media files and application data. • Performance Requirements : The existing system experienced access delays (15-20 minutes for large data batches), which needed significant improvement. • Cost Structure: Ongoing maintenance and hardware costs were escalating, necessitating a more cost-efficient solution. • EFS Configuration: Chose the General Purpose performance mode and the bursting throughput mode to optimize for the company’s workload, which involves frequent access to media files. • Network Design: Established a secure AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection between the on-premises data center and AWS to ensure secure data transfer. • VPN Setup: Configured the AWS Site-to-Site VPN for a secure and reliable connection to facilitate the data transfer. • Secure Access: Use Systems Manager Session Manager for secure, encrypted shell access to EC2 instances, eliminating the need for managing SSH keys. • Data Integrity Checks: Conducted comprehensive tests to ensure data integrity and completeness post-migration.
