Cloud was supposed to make everything easier — and in many ways, it does. But as your environment grows into mission-critical infrastructure, it can also start to feel like the wild wild west. Teams move fast, flexibility fuels innovation, but without the right guardrails? Costs spiral. Security gaps emerge. Performance takes a hit. And often, organizations don’t realize the full impact until it’s too late.
