Abstract
Using AWS, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Library has built a digital preservation storage strategy designed to be more highly available and to scale better as data continues to grow. "The challenge of needing increased availability, scalability, and flexibility has been effectively addressed with our migration to cloud infrastructure."
A culture shift for system administration with AWS is that Library IT has full control over infrastructure. In the past, using on-campus resources relied on system administrators from other groups for provisioning and responding to incidents for storage and compute resources. This sometimes caused delays in library workflows and impacted overall service uptime. Overall, library IT has a much easier time managing resources now since S3 is very reliable, and if more compute resources are needed, that can be adjusted directly.
