Enforcing rules and best practices consistently while enhancing operational efficiency, reducing risks, and controlling costs is a tricky journey, that often leads to frustration, loss of productivity, and friction between engineering teams and yours because the challenge is not purely technical.
Empathy and a customer-focused mindset are crucial, and a suite of AWS services, including AWS Security Hub, AWS Config, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and Tagging policies, can greatly assist in automating compliance checks, enforcing governance, and managing access and costs.
In this talk, we will share our journey as a platform engineering team in achieving robust internal compliance and show how we implemented governance and FinOps initiatives in a way that kept everyone on board fostering a positive and collaborative environment.
