In this session, we discuss how MassMutual adopts a cloud first strategy and their journey to hybrid cloud on AWS. Specifically, we will cover four aspects of MassMutual's hybrid cloud on AWS architecture. 1. Use of AWS Well Architected Framework to create MassMutual’s Cloud Minimal Viable Product (MVP) document. 2. Deep dive into MassMutual's multi-account, multi-region architecture. 3. Achieving cloud Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) via tooling and automation. 4. Demonstrate how MassMutual deploys fully compliant Hybrid Cloud environments in less than 5 min. In addition, this session will showcase some of MassMutual's actual hybrid deployments and share the benefits from using AWS.
