LMS with AWS Private Instance: Robust Security & Efficiency

Owning a training business amidst today’s competition is a tough job. But not with the right set of tools.

You see, it’s the era of the internet. And data is money. With this, also comes the question of data security. Additionally, ownership & control are yet another hotly debated topic.

The essence of owning a physical server today is explained here. “Efficiency without complexities. Security without sleepless nights. And innovation without investment pitfalls.”

In this article, we share how you can own a server without actually owning it. And how it’s possible on Edmingle’s LMS with AWS private instance.

What is an AWS Private Instance?

AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers a range of cloud computing solutions. Among these are private instances.

These cater to the needs of businesses seeking enhanced privacy and control. Specifically over their cloud environment.

AWS’s private instances are part of its virtual private cloud (VPC) service. Allowing users to launch AWS resources in a virtual network that they define.

Often referred to as Amazon EC2 instances, these run within a VPC. Without a direct route to the internet.

Some of its key features and benefits are:

• Isolation

• Controlled Access

• Internal Networking

• Integration with AWS Services

In simple terms, AWS private instances offer a powerful way for businesses to leverage cloud computing resources. While also maintaining a high degree of privacy & security for their applications & data.

How is an LMS with AWS Private Instance Different?

An LMS deployed on an AWS private instance offers several distinctive advantages compared to traditional LMS platforms.

Primarily, it ensures enhanced security and privacy as it allows the LMS to operate within a controlled environment that’s not shared with other customers. This setup is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle sensitive data or require strict regulatory compliance.

Additionally, it provides scalable and customizable infrastructure options. Hence, enabling institutions to tailor the system’s performance and storage capabilities directly to their needs.

This contrasts with traditional LMSs, which might be more rigid in scalability or hosted on shared services where performance can be influenced by other users.

In short, an LMS with AWS private instance can deliver a more secure, flexible & optimized learning environment.
