Why this course
Product Managers running Cloud Continuous Delivery at hyperscaler and platform vendors (IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, GCP, Red Hat OpenShift, GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI) on a regulated customer roadmap call are asked three questions in quick succession. Will the CD pipeline hold under FIPS 140-3 cryptographic requirements. Will it integrate with the customer's existing SOC operating model. Will it provide the audit-trail the customer's CCO accepts. The default Cloud CD PM response leads with the capability matrix. The customer roadmap conversation does not advance to the next quarter.
The course delivers the integrated product strategy. The FIPS 140-3 alignment framework. The customer-side security operations integration. The customer-side audit-trail integration. The customer-side governance integration. The customer-side compliance integration. The customer-side identity-federation integration. The customer-side observability integration. The customer-side regulator engagement framework. The customer-side roadmap framework. The customer engagement structure. Twelve modules with deliverables. Plus a hand-built playbook for your specific Cloud CD product.
