Steel copy of a wooden bridge.(20 min version)
summary
Calls out the anti pattern of copying old processes into cloud and shows concrete fixes and outcomes. Creates a cloud silo and manual approvals cause surprise cost spikes, slowed delivery, and drift between automation and reality. Replacing approvals with automated guard rails prevents mistakes such as an exposed port getting closed in 30 seconds. Examples that work: a customer that rebuilds every two weeks in a separate region, a fast food chain cookie cutter infra for new business units, and a financial firm running blue‑green via automation and testing in production. Fund automation and decentralize with a service catalog.
