Ending the Spreadsheet Method of Cloud Governance

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.

Start retiring your spreadsheets

Recap from the AWS Public Sector Summit

partner theater schedule sign with cloudtamer.io session
We had a great time exhibiting and speaking at the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, DC last week as we formally launched cloudtamer.io. The response from attendees was gratifying, and our team had several opportunities to share how cloudtamer.io helps solve the challenge of governing account access, budget, and compliance in the cloud. First up for us was a joint session with AWS and our customer at NASA to present Governance@Scale - Governance of Multi-Account, Large- Scale AWS Environments Using an Automated Approach. Brian presenting our approach to account management During this session we previewed a video we created highlighting how AWS Service Catalog and cloudtamer.io work together to deliver cloud governance@scale. The combination of Service Catalog and cloudtamer.io helps teams ensure compliance and security, and speed time to full ROI of the cloud.
Our CEO, Dede Dascalu, presented Balancing Control and Agility to Achieve Cloud@Scale on the second day of the Summit, sharing some of what we've learned about:
    • The typical journey to cloud adoption
    • Tradeoffs that organizations often make to balance developer controls and developer agility
    • The required elements of cloud@scale
    • The challenges with governance of cloud accounts
