Case Study: Optimizing AI-Powered Digital Employees with AWS Graviton and CloudFormation

Untitled design (7).png

Overview: The Challenge & Cloud Migration

CogAbility, a leading U.S. provider of AI-powered digital employees known as CogBots, empowers organizations through automation and intelligent workflows. The firm faced significant challenges with their existing infrastructure on IBM Cloud:

 

Performance Limitations:

The compute-intensive AI workloads were not performing optimally on the existing infrastructure.

 

Cost Inefficiencies:

Rising costs were becoming a concern as the platform scaled.

 

Scalability Issues:

The current setup struggled to handle increased concurrent users efficiently.

 

Deployment Complexities:

Manual deployment processes were time-consuming and error-prone.

​

To address these challenges, CogAbility engaged skyPurple Cloud, a UK-based team of AWS-certified experts, to design and implement a migration strategy to AWS, leveraging cutting-edge services and best practices.

​

The Solution: Graviton-Powered EKS and Automated CloudFormation Deployments

The solution combined the strengths of AWS Graviton processors with the scalability of Amazon EKS and the automation capabilities of AWS CloudFormation:

1.     Migration to Amazon EKS on Graviton:

  • Refactored applications for container-based deployment on EKS.

  • Optimized container images and application code for ARM architecture.

  • Implemented auto-scaling policies to dynamically adjust to workload demands.

  • Utilized Graviton-powered instances for enhanced performance and cost-efficiency.

2.     Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation:

  • Designed modular, version-controlled CloudFormation templates for the entire infrastructure stack.

  • Automated provisioning of resources, including EKS clusters, networking components, and security groups.

  • Implemented parameter files to manage environment-specific configurations.

3.     CI/CD Pipeline Integration:

  • Integrated CloudFormation templates into existing CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.

  • Streamlined the deployment process for new features and updates.

4.     Monitoring and Optimization:

  • Implemented robust monitoring and observability solutions to track performance metrics.

  • Continuously optimized resource allocation based on actual usage patterns.

Compliance & Security

Throughout the migration and implementation process, skyPurple Cloud ensured compliance with relevant regulations and maintained a strong security posture:

  • Implemented security best practices for container deployments on EKS.

  • Utilized AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for fine-grained access control.

  • Enabled encryption at rest and in transit for all sensitive data.

  • Conducted regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.

Results: Customer Outcomes & Satisfaction

CogAbility praised skyPurple Cloud's solution for its transformative impact on their digital employee platform:

​
