Case Study: Department for Work and Pensions achieves scalable AWS migration with Devoteam

Department for Work and Pensions migrates 8 applications to AWS in 8 months with Devoteam

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) needed to migrate eight internal and public-facing applications from a private cloud environment to AWS, requiring a DevOps approach with infrastructure-as-code and a focus on internal knowledge transfer. They partnered with Devoteam, who utilized the G-Cloud Framework to commence the project.

Devoteam implemented a sequential migration over eight months, establishing a 'Migration Factory' with secure networking, code control, and deployment pipelines. Using AWS services including EC2, Lambda, RDS, and Elasticsearch, they fully automated the infrastructure. The results for DWP included multi-AZ redundancy, proven deployment reproducibility, auto-scaling, and a successful internal knowledge transfer, enabling the department to adapt its infrastructure dynamically for future needs.
