Every company has a financial balance sheet. But what’s your cloud-native balance sheet? Can you identify your cloud native assets and liabilities? Do you know how to quantify your tangible and intangible resources?

This session looks at cloud native investment through a CFO’s lens. We’ll introduce the idea of a Cloud Native Balance Sheet and break down topics like CapEx vs. OpEx, the cost of delay, and the cost of failure. You’ll learn how to assess assets and liabilities across technology, security, process, and policy, and how organizations are redefining FinOps and platform engineering as business enablers rather than cost centers. We’ll also explore the human and organizational dynamics (i.e. politics!) behind cloud native success, and how to align finance, engineering, and product around measurable outcomes.
