The chaos of today’s multi-cloud world often leads to the use of numerous tools and processes for cloud operations. This leads to challenges having detailed visibility understanding the relationships between resources and applying consistent security across environments, based on applications needs.
How can you address these challenges, and others like it, in the multi-cloud universe? Join us on the Multi-Cloud Expedition – a Livestream series airing on LinkedIn every month leading up to VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas. On the Multi-Cloud Expedition, we’re bringing together experts from across VMware to discuss and demo solutions to the most pressing multi-cloud challenges today.
In this third episode of the Multi-Cloud Expedition, we’ll be building on the March episode (Fundamentals of Cost, Observability and Security) going deeper into governance and security. Through product demonstrations and conversations with VMware Subject Matter Experts, we’ll show visibility into cloud misconfigurations, discuss compliance management and dig into automating security at the application level through APIs.
