What is the Operationally-Sound Automation-at-Scale course about?
Traditional compliance approaches struggle to keep pace with distributed systems and continuous deployment cycles. Manual checks don’t scale. Reactive frameworks create bottlenecks. Without an operationally-sound automation strategy, compliance becomes a drag on innovation rather than an enabler of trust.
What situation is the Operationally-Sound Automation-at-Scale for?
