Organizations continue to scale their data operations to support high volumes of diverse data and compute intensive workloads, cloud data platform efficiency has become increasingly important. Cloud efficiency involves automating infrastructure management, ensuring scalability, and integrating built-in security and governance to streamline operations and maximize resource utilization. It also involves automatically helping customers to optimize performance and reduce costs through intelligent resource allocation and ongoing performance improvements. In TDWI surveys, cloud cost is often cited as a challenge for cloud deployments; ensuring efficiency is one way to bring down those costs and provide value.

They will discuss how organizations can maximize cloud performance while managing costs, build governance and security into cloud architectures, and ensure that data platforms are AI-ready. Topics include:

- Building security and governance into the cloud landscape
