summary
Venerable (managing $34B assets and $19B liabilities) migrates 100% of its workloads to AWS in under 18 months, moving 60+ business‑critical applications and setting up 72 interfaces while exiting a TSA six months early. The effort moves two policy administration systems covering 500,000 contracts, shifts a contact center to a cloud SaaS solution, and adopts Redshift, RDS, FSx for Windows, Jenkins and ServiceNow for ops. Lessons include migrated 60+ business‑critical applications, tight cost governance, and handling data pains like a Snowball device damaged during shipping.
