Pop quiz:

Can your team answer these questions in under five minutes?

1. How many storage buckets do you have, across all accounts and providers?
2. Which of your resources are exposed to the internet right now?
3. Why did your cloud bill go up 23% last month, and who's responsible?
4. Are you compliant with SOC 2 right now, not last quarter, right now?
5. What changed in production in the last 7 days that didn't go through your IaC pipeline?

If any of those made you uncomfortable, you're not alone. 89% of organizations operate across multiple clouds. Only 8% qualify as highly cloud-mature. The gap between those numbers is where security incidents, compliance scrambles, and wasted cloud spend live.

In this session, Joe Karlsson from CloudQuery walks 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 we see working across hundreds of organizations managing thousands of cloud accounts, and a pragmatic 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
• What changes when you treat cloud governance as a data problem instead of a tooling problem
• How leading platform engineering teams answer security, cost, and compliance questions across clouds in seconds
• The difference between CI-time policies and continuous policies, and why you need both
• A 30/60/90 day roadmap for building a cloud operations practice that scales
