Accelerating your journey to the cloud? This session offers hands-on guidance on designing and executing successful cloud migrations — with a strong focus on cost optimization and FinOps best practices.

You’ll learn:

• How to plan and execute cloud migration strategies (rehost, refactor, replatform) across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Implementing governance frameworks, tagging standards, and automation for resource visibility and compliance.
• Using FinOps principles to control spend, track unit costs, and drive accountability across engineering teams.
• Real-world lessons from multi-region, high-availability cloud platforms and data modernization initiatives.

Ideal for engineering leaders, architects, and cloud practitioners seeking to optimize cloud investments while maintaining agility and performance.
