Operationalizing AWS Governance at Scale: Five Questions Your Team Can't Answer in Under Five Minutes
Most organizations have adopted AWS best practices like Organizations, Control Tower, and Landing Zones, but the gap between governance frameworks and operational reality widens as you scale. What works at 10 accounts breaks at 100.
This session is structured around five questions your leadership, auditors, or security team could ask at any moment: What resources exist across all your accounts? What's exposed to the internet right now? Are you compliant today, not last quarter? Why did your cloud bill spike? What changed outside your IaC pipeline?
These questions are simple. For most organizations managing 50+ AWS accounts, they're not answerable in under five minutes. Joe Karlsson (CloudQuery) and Keegan Mirazee (AWS) walk through why each question is hard even with strong AWS native tooling, what it costs when you can't answer them, and the patterns working across hundreds of organizations that can, plus a pragmatic 30/60/90-day roadmap for getting there.

What You'll Learn
Why basic infrastructure questions take hours (or weeks) to answer — and what that's actually costing you.
Cloud governance as a data problem — what changes when you treat cloud governance as a data problem instead of a tooling problem.
Cross-cloud answers in seconds — how leading platform engineering teams answer security, cost, and compliance questions across clouds in seconds.

A 30/60/90 day roadmap — for building a cloud operations practice that scales.
In this session, Joe Karlsson (CloudQuery) and Keegan Mirazee (AWS) walk through each of these questions — why they're so hard to answer, what it costs you when you can't, and what changes when you can. No frameworks. No maturity models. Just the patterns working across hundreds of organizations managing thousands of cloud accounts, and a pragmatic roadmap for getting there.
