As a pre-launch insurance provider, the company faced several critical challenges in establishing a secure and scalable cloud infrastructure. A clear strategy was needed for AWS service selection, cost optimization, and implementation best practices to ensure cloud readiness while managing expenses. Security and compliance were also top priorities, requiring adherence to NIST standards and best practices for cloud security. Additionally, the company required a robust AWS Landing Zone capable of supporting multiple environments—production, disaster recovery, development, and research—to ensure operational continuity and scalability. To streamline deployment and reduce manual configurations, the organization aimed to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling automated, repeatable, and efficient infrastructure provisioning.

AWS was the ideal choice due to its ability to provide a scalable, multi-region architecture that supports seamless expansion. Its built-in security frameworks ensured compliance with NIST standards, addressing strict security and regulatory requirements. Additionally, AWS offered cost optimization through flexible pricing models and funding opportunities, helping manage expenses effectively. The platform’s strong automation and integration capabilities, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) support via Terraform and AWS-native automation tools, enabled efficient deployment, reduced manual configurations, and ensured long-term operational efficiency.

SnapSoft designed and deployed a scalable AWS environment tailored to the company’s needs, ensuring a secure and efficient cloud infrastructure. The solution included a robust AWS Landing Zone with a multi-region architecture built on best-practice configurations to support scalability and security. To accommodate operational requirements, SnapSoft implemented a structured multi-environment deployment, segregating production, disaster recovery, development, QA, and research environments.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform was leveraged to automate deployment processes, minimizing manual configurations and ensuring reproducibility. Security and compliance were integral to the design, incorporating AWS NIST conformance packs, IAM federation with Microsoft Entra ID, and comprehensive logging and monitoring solutions. Additionally, a disaster recovery strategy was implemented, featuring production-to-DR replication to enhance high availability and business continuity, ensuring the cloud infrastructure was resilient, compliant, and optimized for future growth.

This solution enabled our customer to achieve:

• Scalable Cloud Foundation: Production-ready AWS Landing Zone supporting future expansion.
• Security & Compliance Assurance: NIST-conformant cloud architecture with IAM best practices.
• Efficient Deployment & Automation: Reduced manual effort with fully automated infrastructure provisioning.
• Disaster Recovery Readiness: Multi-region backup and replication for business continuity.
• Optimized Cost Structure: AWS funding support and cost-efficient architecture planning.
