• The Iceberg model (of cloud cost)
• Yearly Cloud cost example
• The FinOps cloud cost model
• Staff requirement for Public Cloud
• Cloud migration return on investment
• Shifting from Capex to Opex
• Infrastructure Services to Function-as-a-Service
• Importance of cloud reversibility
• Cost of data in Public Cloud
• Public vs Private Cloud

In this episode, Solution Architecture Manager Michael Tillman of Mirantis covers everything you need to know about DISA STIG, FEDRAMP, and the associated security requirements needed to achieve Authorization to Operate (ATO).

ATO is a requirement for applications running in the US Federal and State governments, but the security stipulations required in this industry represent the best security practices for cloud native applications in general. With that being said, regardless of whether you need specific approvals for specific workloads, the security framework and solution architecture of the Mirantis Stack of solutions can help your organization ensure that not only your workloads meet the highest standards of security, but also - if you choose to do so - your organization can get ATO much faster than if you were leveraging other solutions that don't meet the Mirantis security standards.

A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• Defining cloud native applications
• Common challenges with cloud native applications
• DISA STIG
• FEDRAMP
• Defining a "Secure Stack"
• Mirantis secure container solutions
• How to partner with Mirantis for faster ATO
• The complete stack of Mirantis cloud native solutions
