Problem Statement: Security to reduce

The AlignDV application is now constrained by a significant scalability issue which severely impacts its ability to handle sudden and unexpected surges in user traffic. As a result, the platform experiences frequent service disruptions,with an average of 34 incidents per month. These recurring outages not only compromise service delivery but also erode customer confidence and satisfaction, ultimately affecting revenue generation.

The reliability and performance of the application are essential to maintaining customer trust and driving business growth.

Unfortunately, the current scalability issues are detrimental to AlignDV reputation and revenue streams, as potential customers are deterred by the platform's unreliable performance

Therefore, it is imperative that immediate attention is given to addressing this scalability challenge. A comprehensive solution must be implemented to ensure the platform's ability to handle increased traffic and provide a seamless user experience. By doing so, AlignDV can safeguard its reputation, restore customer trust, and unlock its full revenue generation potential.

Proposed Solution & Architecture

We propose a comprehensive solution that leverages robust DevOps capabilities, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC)and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) methodologies. This approach ensures efficiency, scalability, and reliability in managing their infrastructure while harnessing the power of AWS services

1. IaC Implementation with Terraform:

To standardize and automate infrastructure deployment, we recommend the adoption of Terraform. This tool enables the creation, modification, and versioning of infrastructure resources through declarative configuration files. By codifying infrastructure, Client Coal Indiacan efficiently provision and manage their AWS resources, ensuring consistency and reducing manual errors

2. CI/CD Pipeline Integration:

We the establishment of a robust CI/CD pipeline to streamline the delivery of infrastructure changes. This pipeline enforces rigorous quality,security, and policy checks on any modifications, ensuring that only validated changes are deployed to production. Leveraging industry standard CI/CD practices, such as automated testing and deployment, Client Coal India canachieve rapid, reliable, and risk-free delivery of infrastructure changes.

3. Automated AMI Creation:

To optimize the management of applicationdeployment, we recommend automating the creation of Amazon Machine Images(AMIs) for all 30 applications constituting the website. By automating this process, Client Coal India eliminates manual intervention, reduces deployment time, and ensures consistency across application environments. This automation is facilitated through scripting and tooling, seamlessly integrating with the CI/CD pipeline for streamlined deployment workflows.

4. Auto Scaling with Golden AMIs:

To To enhance scalability and availability, we propose implementing autoscaling using "Golden AMIs." By leveraging dynamically scalable Amazon EC2 instances based on preconfigured Golden AMIs,Client Coal India can efficiently manage workload fluctuations while maintaining consistency across instances. Autoscaling configurations, coupled with dynamic scaling policies based on Amazon CloudWatch metrics like CPU Utilization, ensure proactive scaling to meet demand spikes, optimizing resource utilization and enhancing application performance.

5. DevOps Toolchain Utilization:

Our solution leverages a comprehensive DevOps toolchain encompassing Terraform for IaC, alongside industry standard CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or AWS Code Pipeline for pipeline automation. Monitoring and alerting are facilitated through Amazon CloudWatch, enabling real time visibility into infrastructure performance and health metrics.

6. Security:

Encryption in Transit: AWS ACM SSL certificates ensure secure data transmission between services, maintaining confidentiality during transit.

Encryption at Rest: AWS Key Management Service (KMS) provided robust encryption for data at rest, safeguarding sensitive information within storage solutions.

Web Application Firewall (WAF): AWS WAF bolstered web application security by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic, protecting against common web-based threats.
‍
Vulnerability Management: AWS Inspector conducted regular vulnerability scans, identifying and remediating potential security weaknesses within the infrastructure.
‍
Compliance Monitoring: AWS Security Hub facilitated continuous compliance checks, ensuring adherence to industry regulations and internal security policies.
‍
Threat Detection: AWS Guard Duty monitored for malicious activity and unauthorized access attempts, enhancing threat detection capabilities across the infrastructure.
‍
Configuration Management: AWS Config maintained an UpToDate inventory ofAWS resources and configurations, enabling proactive monitoring and enforcement of security policies

7. AWS EKS Deployment:

The application was containerized and deployed on AWS EKS, leveraging Kubernetes for orchestration and management of containerized workloads. This ensures efficient resource utilization and automated scaling based on demand.

6. Database Deployment:

For AlignDV, we continued to use RDS (Relational Database Service) in amulti-AZ (Availability Zone) configuration for data storage. RDS ensures high availability and durability of the database, with automatic failover across multiple AZs to mitigate downtime and data loss.

6. Security and Compliance:

The same comprehensive security measures, including encryption,vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and threat detection, were applied to AlignDV's AWS EKS deployment to ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance.
