Customer Challenge
The customer, managing a digital property in the apparel domain, faced an urgent challenge when their third-party hosting vendor announced service discontinuation with only 30 days’ notice. The affected website needed to be migrated quickly to avoid service disruption.
Already using AWS for other web properties, the customer aimed to consolidate their infrastructure by migrating the remaining website. Blazeclan supported the migration effort, ensuring a smooth and timely transition.
Solution
Blazeclan collaborated closely with the customer to plan and execute a seamless migration of the website from the third-party environment to AWS. The solution leveraged a suite of AWS services to ensure performance, security, and high availability:
- Amazon EC2: Provisioned to host the migrated website
- Amazon Route53: Managed DNS resolution and domain configuration
- AWS Certificate Manager (ACM): Enabled SSL/TLS encryption with managed certificates
- Elastic Load Balancer (ELB): Distributed traffic effectively across backend infrastructure
