Event Overview

Cloud Custodian, a CNCF incubating project, empowers organizations to define and enforce cloud governance as code – enabling powerful automation across FinOps, security, operations, and compliance domains.

Watch the full-day recording of Governance as Code Day (happened on Oct 8th) , where practitioners, contributors, and maintainers came together to share real-world experiences, best practices, and project updates. Learn how Cloud Custodian is being used in production to solve today’s toughest governance challenges – at scale.
