This will be my first time at AWS re:Invent and, while I’m no stranger to big conferences, I have a feeling I’m in for an eye-opening experience in Las Vegas!

The cloudtamer.io team is a Bronze Sponsor this year, and you can find us in Booth 331 on the expo floor. We’re bringing back this little guy, who debuted at the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, DC in June. Stop by for a chat about cloud governance and a cloudtamer.io demo – and get your very own cloud-taming mascot. We’ll also have a drawing on Thursday that features a big Amazon gift card plus another surprise gift.

The show features several educational sessions on cloud governance, but we’re particularly excited for the two offerings covering the AWS Governance@Scale framework:

This session will give you a comprehensive overview of cloud governance and how it helps address questions like:  How do I control budgets across many accounts, workloads, and users? How do I automate account provisioning and maintain good security when hundreds of users are requesting cloud resources? How can I automate compliance to ensure we’re adhering to enterprise security requirements? The session will also give you insight into your options to build or buy a governance solution that’s right for your organization.

We recently partnered with AWS to host a webinar on how to go from manual to automated cloud governance.

Organizations typically run into a need for governance as cloud use grows and they start asking questions like:

• • How do I determine the current state of all cloud users and control their access across my enterprise?
  • How do I ensure adherence to IT budgets in a pay-per-use model?
  • How do I ensure deployments and operations are compliant with relevant legal, regulatory, and contractual policies?

The old way of getting answers – expending labor hours, manually tracking cloud accounts and users via spreadsheets, and storing policies in binders – can’t keep up with the pace of cloud adoption.

Cloud governance at scale requires automation

The governance@scale model that AWS highlighted in the webinar can help customers retire manual processes and replace labor with automation to:

• • Provision and map accounts to your organization structure
  • Enforce budget actions to prevent cost overruns
  • Deploy accounts consistent with policies such as NIST and HIPAA

The cloudtamer.io solution can help you achieve cloud governance@scale across account management, budget enforcement, and compliance automation.
