SP Academy.

Alignment of good practices from the SP Academy educational platform in the AWS cloud.

Our educational platform is hosted on the public AWS cloud and faced performance, speed, and security challenges due to the high demand of frequently connected users. To continue forming a permanent learning community, we drove the platform’s continued improvement project, intending to maintain AWS good practices.

Our educational platform is hosted on the public AWS cloud and faced performance, speed, and security challenges due to the high demand of frequently connected users. To continue forming a permanent learning community, we drove the platform’s continued improvement project, intending to maintain AWS good practices.

We used the AWS Well-Architected Framework Review of AWS to conduct an evaluation and diagnosis of the ‘SP Academy’ educational platform, and then developed an action plan to resolve the high-, medium-, and low-level risks to which the platform was exposed. The work plan was structured for the short, medium, and long term in order to achieve the architecture’s alignment with the resource sizing, availability, performance, and security best practices recommended by AWS and Moodle.

The educational platform is hosted entirely in the AWS cloud and achieves content distribution by safely integrating with Sophos Solutions’ local information systems.
