How to Build Enterprise Cloud Governance That Scales
A practical guide to building scalable enterprise cloud governance frameworks. Covers the three operating models (centralized, decentralized, federated), common governance challenges at scale such as drift, IAM gaps, and compliance failures, and a seven-step framework: auditing assets, defining policies, automating enforcement, continuous monitoring, breach response, shared accountability, and iterative review. Also covers regulatory drivers including GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2, along with best practices around auditability, automation, and feedback loops. The post concludes with a walkthrough of how Spacelift supports governance through policy-as-code, drift detection, and IaC orchestration.
