What is the Operationally-Sound Cloud DevOps Programs course about?

As engineering teams grow more geographically dispersed and cloud environments grow more dynamic, traditional DevOps models falter under latency, inconsistency, and fragmented ownership. Without a coherent operational framework, teams face higher incident rates, slower recovery, and compliance drift, all while velocity expectations increase.
