  1. Cloud foundation

    Production and non-production run in separate accounts / subscriptions / projects, with SSO for all engineers.
    Audit logs (CloudTrail, Activity Log, Cloud Audit Logs) are centralized and protected from deletion.

  2. Delivery & automation

    All infrastructure is defined as code (Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi, CDK)—nobody changes prod by clicking in the console.
    Every deployment goes through an automated pipeline with tests, security scanning, and a tested rollback.

  3. Reliability & observability

    Alerts fire on user-facing symptoms (latency, error rate), not just CPU and memory—and on-call isn't drowning in noise.
    Backups are tested with a real restore at least quarterly, and there is a documented DR runbook.

  4. Security posture

    MFA is enforced everywhere and long-lived access keys are eliminated or rotated automatically.
    A posture tool (Security Hub, Defender for Cloud, Security Command Center) runs continuously and findings have owners.

  5. Cost control

    Resources are tagged by team / environment, and you can say which team drove last month's bill increase.
    Rightsizing and commitments (Savings Plans, reservations, CUDs) were reviewed in the last 6 months.
