Governance As Code Day

Join Six Feet Up for a full-day virtual event dedicated to governance as code, powered by Cloud Custodian — a CNCF incubating project that automates governance across FinOps, security, operations, and compliance.

Hosted by Stacklet, attendees will hear real-world case studies, technical deep dives, and project updates from leaders at Capital One, GoTo, FactSet, Avalara, AWS, Six Feet Up, and more.

Continuous IAM Hygiene and Compliance: Cloud Custodian

By: Chris Watkins, Senior Consultant at Six Feet Up

Wednesday, Oct. 8 | 3:05pm ET

Discover how Cloud Custodian helps enforce continuous IAM hygiene and compliance by providing deeper visibility, automated enforcement, and preventative guardrails — all powered by a flexible, policy-as-code approach. Chris Watkins will walk through real-world examples including enforcing MFA, cleaning up orphaned identities, flagging risky role assignments, and ensuring alignment with CIS and NIST benchmarks.

He will also introduce a new Microsoft Entra integration, showing how Custodian enables vendor-neutral identity governance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments — without locking teams into proprietary toolchains.

About Governance As Code Day With Cloud Custodian, hosted by Stacklet

Governance As Code Day brings together contributors, maintainers, and practitioners to share best practices, real-world deployments, and emerging use cases for Cloud Custodian. The program will cover the latest product roadmap, strategies for extending FinOps and security capabilities, and governance approaches for AI infrastructure such as GPUs and model services.

Sessions will also show how teams are shifting governance left by embedding policies earlier in the development lifecycle, and offer a preview of future integrations with data platforms like Snowflake.
