Case Study: IU International University of Applied Sciences achieves a scalable, resilient, and sustainable digital learning environment with Amazon Web Services

Securing Data and Advancing Sustainability on AWS with IU International University of Applied Sciences

IU International University of Applied Sciences, one of Europe’s fastest-growing universities, needed a scalable way to support a student-centered, global digital learning environment while keeping infrastructure simple and cost-efficient. To do this, the university worked with Amazon Web Services and relied on container-based infrastructure, including Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, to run its systems and manage growth with a small DevOps team.

Amazon Web Services helped IU use 38 AWS services, automation, and managed services to streamline operations, reduce human error, and improve flexibility. The result was a more resilient, high-performing, and economical platform that supports personalized learning for students worldwide, with only eight DevOps employees managing infrastructure for about 300 IT staff.
