Beyond Borders: A Global Perspective of Cloud Governance

In this episode of CloudBrew, two field CTOs take on the challenge of cloud assessments. 

There’s no shortage of well-architected frameworks to assess against, but it's not humanly possible to check 350 best practice items for every workload a client is running, especially when multiple cloud platforms are involved. 

Rizwan and Venkatesh, both field CTOs, talk about what they’re seeing around assessments in client environments, the super-powers that are required to leverage assessments at every stage of the sales process, and the three main benefits of an automated cloud assessment solution – namely scalability, automation, and architecture optimization.
