Moodle on AWS

Moodle on AWS

Moodle powers over 300 million users across 242 countries. Deploying it on AWS gives institutions the scalability, security, and flexibility their learners deserve — with load balancing, autoscaling, and IAM built in.

Moodle has over 300 million users spread across 242 countries, making it the world's most widely used learning platform.

The world's most widely used learning platform

Moodle enables educators, administrators and learners to utilise a single robust and secure system with many integrations and plugins, to create personalised online learning environments.

Moodle delivers a great set of powerful tools to empower educators and learners, enabling them to collaborate and learn from anywhere in the world. Moodle is easy to use, multilingual, and has a plethora of features, with over 120 languages already supported.

Why Moodle on AWS?

The Moodle infrastructure can be run on many different platforms, however we at CloudZA® specialise in deploying Moodle environments into the AWS cloud. AWS offers a great cloud platform for delivering fast, responsive and highly available Moodle environments, with powerful security tools such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for granular access control and MFA support.

AWS allows for flexibility and agile workflow with Moodle deployments. With tools such as load balancers, auto scaling groups and CloudWatch, your Moodle infrastructure will be able to scale and grow with your institution, while having access to in-depth monitoring.

How can CloudZA® help?

We at CloudZA® specialise in marrying the Moodle platform with AWS cloud services. Cloud services and tools such as load balancing, autoscaling, scalable storage and content management allow your Moodle environment to grow and scale with your institution. Being agile and flexible is a great strength in any organisation, and having these strengths will only benefit your organisation, your teachers and especially your learners.

CloudZA® will be able to architect, provision, deploy and manage your Moodle infrastructure, with the added benefit of offering full Moodle customisation so your environment matches your organisation's look, feel and values.
