How to Herd Clouds and Influence People From chaos to control: one organization's journey to transform enterprise cloud governance. A Tale of Transforming Cloud Strategy into Governance That Actually Works Day 1: Gary can't even log in on his first day as cloud architect at Goliath Federal Bank. 500 days later: He's transformed the organization's entire approach to cloud governance-turning chaos into control and resistance into collaboration. What happened in between? The messy, human reality of enterprise cloud governance-where the biggest challenges aren't technical, they're organizational. Shadow IT teams, division politics, security incidents, and audit pressures all collide as Gary builds something that's never existed before: cloud governance that enables innovation instead of killing it. This isn't another best practices manual. It's the untold story of why cloud management is so hard at scale-and how one team learned to herd clouds and influence people. Perfect for: IT leaders, cloud architects, and anyone trying to transform technology and teams.
