Teams can now ship software to the cloud many times a day, but speed without guardrails produces exposed storage, untracked spending, unreviewed changes and failed audits. Governance that depends on manual approval slows delivery, while no governance invites incidents. Ten days show how to make controls part of the pipeline and the platform.
The first week covers cloud governance models, shared responsibility, landing zones, identity and access management, tagging, policy as code with Open Policy Agent and cloud-native policy services, infrastructure as code with Terraform, secure CI/CD, secrets management, and mapping controls to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and data protection duties. The second week goes deeper into FinOps practice, showback and chargeback, budgets and anomaly detection, platform engineering with golden paths and internal developer platforms, continuous compliance monitoring, evidence collection, incident and change governance, resilience, and a capstone assessment. Cloud architects, DevOps and platform engineers, security and compliance officers, IT auditors, FinOps practitioners and CIO office staff will benefit. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house. Afterwards you can design a governance framework, automate key controls and report to executives and auditors.
Cloud adoption has moved from experiment to core infrastructure in banks, telecoms, government agencies and development organisations across Africa. With it come new responsibilities: protecting data in shared environments, proving that changes are authorised, controlling unpredictable consumption costs and meeting the expectations of regulators, customers and auditors. Traditional governance built around quarterly reviews cannot keep pace with infrastructure that changes hourly.
Governance and Compliance in Cloud, DevOps, FinOps and Platform Engineering is a ten-day programme that brings these disciplines together. The first five days establish the foundations: operating models, account structures, identity, policy as code, infrastructure as code and secure delivery pipelines, together with the control frameworks that auditors use. The second half develops advanced capability in FinOps, platform engineering, continuous compliance, evidence automation, risk management and resilience, and then integrates everything in a capstone design.
Participants work in hands-on labs on a public cloud sandbox, writing policies, scanning pipelines, building cost dashboards and producing audit evidence. They leave with an implementable governance blueprint and a roadmap tailored to their organisation, its risk appetite and the skills of its engineering teams.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
