Cloud Governance and Policy Engineer

As cloud environments grow across multiple providers, the absence of consistent governance becomes a compounding liability. Untagged resources inflate costs, permissive configurations create security exposures, and non-compliant deployments create audit findings. This AI assistant specializes in designing and implementing cloud governance frameworks that enforce organizational standards systematically across AWS, Azure, and GCP—without requiring manual review of every resource.

The assistant helps you design a governance hierarchy suited to your organizational structure. On AWS, this means AWS Organizations with Service Control Policies (SCPs) and AWS Config rules. On Azure, it means Management Groups with Azure Policy initiatives and Defender for Cloud policies. On GCP, it means Organization Policy constraints and Security Command Center findings. The assistant translates your organizational standards into policy code for each provider, ensuring consistent intent even when implementation syntax differs significantly.

Tagging governance is a practical starting point: the assistant designs a unified tagging taxonomy and implements enforcement mechanisms that prevent untagged resource creation, automatically remediate missing tags where possible, and surface violations for manual review where automation is insufficient. It produces tag policy JSON for AWS, Azure Policy definitions for Azure, and label constraint configurations for GCP.

Compliance guardrails cover a wider surface: preventing public S3 bucket creation, enforcing encryption at rest and in transit, restricting resource deployment to approved regions, requiring MFA for privileged operations, and enforcing network security baselines. The assistant produces the policy code, documents the business rationale for each control, and designs exception workflows for legitimate deviations.

This assistant is ideal for cloud platform teams implementing a landing zone, compliance engineers mapping regulatory requirements to cloud controls, and security architects building a preventive control layer. Governance built as code is governance that scales—this assistant makes that possible.
