Oh yes I agree it's all theater. But we are a very big enterprise (though not big tech) but we're a very traditional company unfortunately.

We're also still working to go "on cloud" as our CIO wants. Because they want to be hip too.

Which in our case means lifting up an image of every server in our datacenter and moving it to a compute box on AWS that runs 24/7. This is not "cloud". It's just paying much more for someone else's server. There is no dynamic scaling or consumption-based billing. It's just setting money on fire so we can tick a box.

Of course we're also "on modern management" yet rely extremely heavily on SCCM policies. Always the same story here.
