You are correct, nothing stops us from taking our terrible on-prem practice and applying them to the cloud except for one thing - it will be more obvious that we screwed the pooch because they let some renegades in before they were able to nail everything down. Now they can't hide behind their gobbledygook BS when they try to apply their existing practices to the cloud. My team is respected so much that we're able to push back on their nonsense in public meetings with the suits. Simply put, I'm enjoying First Mover advantage. Also, doesn't hurt that before joining this team I was on the Enterprise Architecture team and I literally wrote our Cloud Policy! I think that was well-played, even if I say so myself! :)
