AWS Case Study

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offerings. AWS services can offer an organization tools such as compute power, database storage and content delivery services.

AWS launched in 2006 from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle its online retail operations. AWS was one of the first companies to introduce a pay-as-you-go cloud computing model that scales to provide users with compute, storage or throughput as needed.

AWS provides a comprehensive suite of services and solutions to run sophisticated and scalable applications to help achieve better business outcomes. Running your applications in the AWS Cloud can help you move faster, operate more securely, and save substantial costs; all while benefitting from the agility, scale and performance of the cloud.

Now, In today’s era AWS is used by almost all the industries.

Some of the AWS Case Study is discussed below:

1. LG Electronics :

“By using AWS for our new IoT platform, we saved 80 percent in development cost. It also enables developers to focus on writing business logic for LG service scenarios.”

- Kim Kunwoo

Chief of the Service Development Team,LG Cloud Center, LG Electronics

Challenge that LG faced : As the Wi-Fi enabled devices increased the activation rate of LG appliances increased results to huge load on the server built on premises. They built an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for ThinQ appliances, but experienced difficulties in securing resources for server development and operations.

Then LG start searching for reliable device connectivity, the company constantly reviewed new technologies that were compatible with its existing services aside from ThinQ. LG looked to migrate its IoT platform to a new infrastructure that was easy to manage, secure, and cost-effective.

Why they migrated to AWS : In 2016, LG successfully migrated its IT platform for home appliances, including more than 1,000 servers, from its data center to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The business adopted Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

In 2017, LG learned about AWS IoT and its server less architecture. LG decided to use AWS IoT based on an understanding that this would reduce management time for its IoT platform. In addition, AWS was the only cloud provider whose IoT services could meet LG’s requirements to support the ThinQ platform.

Then after this they started using AWS Lambda for server less computing.The ThinQ platform also stores data in Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon DynamoDB, which provide historical data for services. “With the previous infrastructure, we retrieved data directly from devices to get status information.

Benefits of using AWS :

1. Relaunching of IOT Platform
2. Reduction in Development Cost
3. ChatBot Service Implementation

Thoughts of LG Officials about AWS Cloud Platform :

“By using AWS for our IoT platform, we saved 80 percent in development cost. It also enabled developers to focus on writing business logic for LG service scenarios. We found that it was better to receive help from AWS solutions architects compared to solving problems ourselves.Our infrastructure team and development team operated separately, resulting in miscommunication and inefficiencies when it came to infrastructure allocation.”
