Isolation of UAT and Production workloads
Strong backup, DR, and monitoring
Proactive threat detection
The client struggled with managing security, compliance, and manual deployments across a complex AWS setup. Key challenges included lack of automation, network isolation needs, secure access, and the need for high availability, disaster recovery, and cost-efficient operations, all while maintaining best security practices.
• Used AWS Managed Services for security, patching, backups, and compliance.
• Deployed a two-tier architecture with public web and private DB subnets (UAT & PROD).
• Jump Server enabled secure DB access.
• ELB ensured web tier availability.
• AWS Backup automated daily backups; PROD stored in Hyderabad DR.
• Amazon CloudWatch & Amazon SNS monitored performance with alerts.
• Amazon EventBridge & AWS Lambda automated server schedules to cut costs.
• AWS Security Hub & Amazon GuardDuty enabled continuous threat detection.
• AWS WAF protected web layer from attacks.
• CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy) automated deployments; UAT used IIS, PROD used blue-green with Auto Scaling.
In collaboration with CloudThat, Invesco implemented a secure, automated, and cost-effective AWS environment for UAT and Production, ensuring operational resilience and allowing greater focus on core investment services.
