Cloud spend rarely explodes overnight — it accumulates. Most orgs attempt to solve this problem at the wrong stage, relying on reactive cost controls, manual audits or finance-led governance that arrives long after architectural decisions are locked in. Shifting left reframes cloud value as an engineering responsibility, not a financial afterthought. That means embedding optimization, security and governance directly into design, CI/CD and deployment workflows. In this webinar, experts from Harness explain how a shift-left strategy enables proactive optimization, and show how Kubernetes environments can be continuously aligned with intent without slowing devs down. See how architecture becomes enforceable policy, how zero-drift environments eliminate configuration entropy, and how to turn best practices into defaults rather than documentation.
Highlights
- Find out why optimizing cost efficiency, reliability, security or developer velocity at the expense of the other values creates hidden debt.
- Learn how to shift optimization and governance left to prevent rework, firefighting and spend remediation.
- Learn why drift between declared intent and runtime reality is inevitable without automation.
- See why architecture standards and cost controls scale only when enforced automatically.
