MULTI-REGION AWS DEPLOYMENT OF MAGENTO COMMERCE APPLICATIONS
For British American Tobacco (BAT), the client needed to accelerate the secure and easy hosting of new international e-cigarette websites on AWS. KO Technologies delivered a comprehensive AWS Cloud & DevOps Services solution that focused on a multi-region deployment of their Adobe Magento Commerce Platform and MySQL RDS using a Terragrunt/Terraform automation stack. The solution included end-to-end automation, including the Imperva WAF/CDN, which has significantly reduced deployment time and ensured a highly scalable, high-performance, and secure global platform for their digital presence.
