The Client

An exam preparation platform with a calendar-driven workload.

11 Plus Guru prepares students for UK selective school entrance and later school exams. Their public site describes online and classroom tuition for 11 Plus, GCSE and A Level, alongside mock exams, practice papers, books, tests and study materials for students from age five through eighteen.

Why this workload shape matters on AWS

Exam preparation platforms share a demand pattern. Load concentrates around scheduled mock exams and exam seasons rather than spreading evenly across the year, and a timed online exam is unforgiving of a slow page or a failed request. That is the general character of this category, and it is the reason a container platform with room to scale suits it better than fixed capacity.

We are not publishing 11 Plus Guru traffic figures, user counts or business metrics on this page. Those numbers belong to the client and are not public.

The Public Reference

Named in our AWS Marketplace listing.

HAZERCLOUD lists Amazon ECS Deployment and Migration Service on AWS Marketplace. The listing names this engagement as evidence of delivery experience, which is what makes 11 Plus Guru a client we can discuss by name.

“proven implementation experience delivering high-performance and ISO-hardened container environments, including the 11Plus Guru”

The Work

What the engagement covered.

Three strands, each stated at the level the public reference supports. The linked service pages describe how HAZERCLOUD runs this work in general.

ECS deployment and migration

The engagement sits under our Amazon ECS deployment and migration service. That is the scope the Marketplace listing names, and it is the same practice behind our other published ECS work.

A container environment

The platform runs as containers on Amazon ECS. Our containerization practice covers the move onto ECS, task and service definitions, and the build and deploy path that keeps images shipping.

ISO aligned hardening

The listing describes the container environment as ISO hardened. HAZERCLOUD holds ISO 27001:2022, so we harden to the standard we operate under. That describes our work on the infrastructure, not any certification held by 11 Plus Guru.

Sourcing

What this page reports, and what it does not.

Everything above traces to one of two public sources:

  • HAZERCLOUD public AWS Marketplace listing for Amazon ECS Deployment and Migration Service, which names the engagement and describes the environment as high performance and ISO hardened.
  • The 11 Plus Guru public website, for what the platform is and who it serves.

We have not published a timeline, cost figures, traffic numbers, an architecture diagram or a client quote for this engagement, because none of those are public. Where our case studies do carry numbers, those numbers are ours to publish. The ISO hardening on ECS and hospitality ECS backend case studies show the technical detail this practice produces when the specifics can be shared.
