Why Moodle on AWS?

The Moodle infrastructure can be run on many different platforms, however we at CloudZA specialize in deploying Moodle environments into the AWS cloud. We believe that 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 for user logins, among many other security features.
