Case Study: Live Nation Entertainment achieves rapid scalability and data‑center closure with Rackspace Technology on AWS

Live Nation Entertainment migrates to AWS to support a world-leading business

Live Nation Entertainment, a global leader in live events that produces over 40,000 shows and sells more than half a billion tickets annually, needed to become more agile and able to scale quickly across a global marketplace. Although its IT team was strong in traditional infrastructure, the company lacked public‑cloud expertise and sought a partner to refactor applications, migrate off costly data centers, and accelerate time to market.

Rackspace Technology provided architecture, migration, managed AWS services, and staff training, helping Live Nation refactor apps, migrate data centers to AWS and upskill personnel (many earning AWS certifications). The move enabled virtualization, stronger security, and rapid scaling, closed data centers ahead of schedule, and delivered the agility and responsiveness the company needed to innovate and maintain its market leadership.
