TLC201: On Demand and Under Budget: Vodafone TV's Journey to a Cloud-Centric Architecture

Headquartered in the UK, Vodafone provides services in 26 additional markets via Operating Companies (OpCos). The Vodafone Digital TV team's journey on AWS began with the goal of enabling these OpCos to ramp up their TV deployment within 24 hours. This session covers two phases of Vodafone's journey to bring agility, cost, and operational efficiencies to their Pay TV offering. We dive into technical details, architecture, and lessons learned from Vodafone's lift-and-shift hybrid approach in the first phase, which resulted in significantly reduced deployment time and cost while adding flexibility. Learn technology patterns and best practices that Vodafone and its partners have adopted to begin the second phase of optimization, constructing a cloud-centric architecture that uses microservices, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon CloudFront to support the Vodafone TV product.
