Best Practice AWS Landing Zone
HomeMade Digital
HomeMade Digital is a multi-national creative, fundraising, and technology agency founded in London. They design and build web applications for charity fundraising campaigns, working with some of the UK's most recognisable non-profit organisations. With operations spanning multiple countries and a growing portfolio of hosted applications, HomeMade Digital needed a global AWS infrastructure that could deliver consistent performance, reliability, and security across all regions. MakeCloud implemented a best-practice AWS landing zone, giving HomeMade Digital the solid cloud foundation needed to scale their platform globally.
The Challenge
HomeMade Digital managed a single AWS account containing all test and production infrastructure, and workload resources were deployed manually over several years. They sought to deploy the “Conversions API Gateway,” a standalone product from Meta. This Kubernetes-based deployment was self-hosted on the customer’s AWS EKS cluster instance. Furthermore, the Conversions API needed to be hosted in multiple regions, initially with Australia and the UK. Additionally, they required network access from a central deployment server to the clusters in each region.Additionally, HomeMade Digital recognised that relying on a single AWS account and manual deployments was not recommended, so they sought guidance on deploying their new application on EKS. They also wanted a clear path for migrating their existing applications to align with AWS best practices.
The Solution
MakeCloud deployed the AWS Control Tower solution to create a best-practice, multi-account AWS environment. We implemented SSO, automated account provisioning, and standardized blueprints to ensure consistent best practices across all accounts.In addition, for networking, we set up a multi-region VPC network using AWS Transit Gateway and deployed networking and EKS through Terraform.
“MakeCloud set up our entire AWS infrastructure across multiple regions. The landing zone they built gives us the confidence to scale globally while keeping everything secure and well-managed.”
The Results
Through implementing AWS Control Tower, MakeCloud established a new AWS account structure for HomeMade Digital, allowing them to separate production from non-production workloads and create dedicated AWS accounts for backups and audit logging.Additionally, by leveraging AWS VPC and AWS Transit Gateway, MakeCloud deployed a robust global network infrastructure. This enabled HomeMade Digital to launch their new product in multiple regions, increasing speed to market and enhancing operational efficiency.
