Company
The Office of Information Technology (OTI) of the National University of Engineering (UNI) leads the digital transformation of this prestigious educational institution, recognized as a benchmark for technological innovation in Latin America.
Its mission is to ensure efficient technological solutions that drive academic excellence, institutional management, and the development of leaders with social impact.
Together with Amber, UNI modernized its technological infrastructure by migrating to a highly scalable AWS architecture, optimizing costs and ensuring continuous availability even during peak demand.
Challenge
Twice a year, UNI faces exceptional traffic peaks during its admission and enrollment processes, where thousands of users access the system simultaneously. After these events, demand drops drastically, generating capacity inefficiencies, cost overruns, and system downtime risk.
Our proposal
Amber implemented an elastic architecture on AWS, based on Auto Scaling Groups and deployed with AWS CloudFormation, enabling dynamic scaling according to real demand.
The infrastructure was designed to maintain high availability, real-time monitoring, and cost optimization throughout the academic cycle.
Key technology components:
- AWS CloudFormation: Automated infrastructure deployment.
- Auto Scaling Groups: On-demand scalability without interruptions.
- Amazon CloudWatch: Real-time monitoring and alerts.
- Elastic Load Balancing: Intelligent user traffic distribution.
Implementation process
The project was executed in a short period thanks to the use of CloudFormation templates, ensuring an agile and seamless deployment.
Phase 1: Analysis
Identification of traffic peaks and usage patterns.
Phase 2: Design
Flexible architecture adaptable to user behavior.
Phase 3: Implementation
Migration and automated configuration with AWS CloudFormation.
Phase 4: Optimization
Adjustment of scaling parameters and active monitoring with CloudWatch.
