Our client is a Singapore-based non-profit organization founded in the 1960s, using profits from legal betting services to fund vital social initiatives. Their on-premise online betting application had served them well, however, as they looked to the future, they realized that scalability and automation —critical features that on-premise infrastructure cannot adequately support—are essential for their continued success.
Consequently, they were ready to transform and fully integrate their system into the AWS Cloud. This marked the exciting beginning of our collaboration.
Client’s Requirements
To ensure a seamless cloud transformation and integration, the client needs to build an infrastructure that meets two major criteria:
- Availability: Operate application with zero downtime, ensuring the system is always running continuously and ready to serve users, especially during periods of up to 20,000 users accessing the platform at the same time.
- Automation: The infrastructure will be built with automation through code, integrating tools to automatically scan for vulnerabilities in the source code.
From the outset, our client required Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD as core components of the transformation. IaC ensured automated, consistent deployment and scaling across both cloud and on-premise environments, while CI/CD pipelines streamlined updates, enforcing security and operational efficiency throughout the cloud journey, and minimizing human errors.
VTI’s Solution
For this project, we executed a complete Cloud Journey and guided our client through every stage—from infrastructure design to migration and ongoing operations.
1. Adoption: Building a Scalable Infrastructure
VTI collaborated with vendors, third-party providers (including AWS, OpenShift,…), and the in-house IT team to design a cloud-ready infrastructure. Through strategic workshops, we defined key architectural components, ensuring seamless integration of AWS, firewalls, and containerization.
2. Cloud Transformation & Migration
- Native Development: We containerized the betting application using Kubernetes (OpenShift), making it more secure and fully prepared for cloud deployment. This phase marked a crucial step in the transformation process.
- Infrastructure Modernization: VTI built a hybrid cloud model, keeping the data center on-premise while migrating the rest of the infrastructure to AWS. We established secure communication between on-premise and cloud environments via AWS Direct Connect and integrated firewall and security measures.
- Workload Migration: VTI utilized AWS Landing Zone to establish a well-architected multi-account environment, ensuring standardized security, compliance, and governance across the cloud infrastructure. Additionally, we integrated Fortinet for network security and AquaSec for container security, strengthening the overall cloud security posture.
3. Enhancement & Operations
VTI continues to optimize cloud operations, ensuring compliance with PCI-DSS and ISO 27001, while enhancing performance, security, and scalability.
The entire infrastructure was built as code (IaC) using Terraform, and a CI/CD pipeline was deployed to automate application delivery, infrastructure updates and security scanning. Our custom-built templates reduced deployment time significantly while enhancing security through automated vulnerability assessments.
