I did a bunch of security contract work for NASA and have worked in security capacities for other government and financial institutions. Honestly I think a lot of the migration to cloud providers is a form of mutiny against the ever increasing cost of running highly regulated workloads in your own data center. It’s nearly impossible to do anything in a reasonable amount of time when you’ve got layer upon layer of regulatory and internal audit oversight. It’s not just basic processes but governance around those processes and governance around the governance of those processes. It’s a nightmare.

- jozzas 5y agoIt was ultimately Bezos' API mandate that made this (and the cloud as we know it) happen: > 1. All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces. >... >5. All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions. >6. Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired. >7. Thank you; have a nice day!
