To ensure business continuity and make all customer’s websites operate smoothly 24x7x365, Romexsoft implemented their 24/7 incidents management and DevOps support solution which included 100 incidents and 60 hours for DevOps tasks. The solution consisted of three phases that included discovery and planning, set up and transition and ongoing support.

Romexsoft did the expertise of customer’s current AWS environments and ensured that targeted infrastructures and workloads were covered with monitoring tools (Zabbix, CloudWatch, Grafana for consolidated data visualization), making the solution flexible and cost-effective, as well as ensured that alerting and incident management tools were working properly (by using PagerDuty and Jira ServiceDesk) and that all the escalation rules were properly configured.

Then Romexsoft started 24x7x365 Tier-2 DevOps support with their engineers working in rotation to provide day-to-day infrastructure management, troubleshooting and improvements within 5 to 15 minutes SLA including out-of-office hours and holidays.

Romexsoft has already finished the investigation phase and is about to start the secure and effective lift-and-shift of this ecommerce website to Amazon Web Services.
