ITV, an integrated producer-broadcaster and the largest commercial television network in the UK, experienced a surge in viewership during the pandemic. At the same time, advertisers were being cautious with their spending. ITV needed a way to continue offering the same high-quality services to a larger volume of end users while optimizing costs to decreased advertising revenue.

Working closely with AWS Technical Account Manager teams and AWS Solution Architects, in only 18 months ITV migrated 75 percent of its application services workloads to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Read the full case study to learn how ITV reduced costs by 60% using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Spot Instances, while also improving reliability and security.
