Session Abstract

Enterprises often rely on Terraform modules to enforce rules - but this approach often doesn’t scale in the real world. In this session, based on real-world lessons from a large enterprise, we’ll explore the shift towards Azure Policy as the foundation of governance. Learn why the migration happened, the challenges faced, and how it enabled faster, safer adoption of cloud services. Attendees will leave with a roadmap for modernising governance, avoiding common pitfalls, and striking the right balance between freedom and control.
