The benefits of migrating legacy workloads to the cloud are well known, but only an estimated 15% of all workloads have currently been moved, so there is still a long way to go. Furthermore, existing migrations have frequently led to dissatisfaction as the true value of the Cloud has not been achieved.
For UK Insurance companies currently undergoing their cloud journey, there is a great opportunity to achieve benefits beyond the widely stated operational efficiencies. At this specially convened Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, sponsored by Sourced Group we will discuss key best practices relating to cloud adoption including:
- How cloud can improve developer experience and increase velocity via self-service platforms, the usage of automation tooling and the centralisation of services
- How to architect your cloud platform to reduce ‘bill shock’ in the form of unforeseen consumption
- How to modernise infrastructure to enable key cloud benefits such as auto-scaling, automation and the use of hyperscaler PaaS services
- How to ensure that platforms and workloads are secure by design
- How to introduce FinOps, cloud cost management and internal chargeback
- How licensing overheads can be optimised
- How to ensure operational resilience and FCA regulatory compliance by adopting a flexible multi-cloud strategy
- How best to future-proof your cloud investment to allow for innovation in the era of AI
