Governance often starts with good intentions, but many teams inherit tagging chaos, unclear accountability, and infrastructure that has scaled faster than their ability to manage it. In this session, we’ll explore practical, tag-driven governance strategies in Datadog. Whether you're struggling with runaway costs, siloed data access, or inconsistent compliance practices, we’ll show you how to implement targeted improvements that scale without requiring a massive overhaul.
We’ll share real-world stories from Datadog customers managing tens of thousands of hosts and users. You’ll learn how teams are using tagging to drive accountability, automate RBAC through identity provider (IdP) integration, and implement data access policies that protect sensitive assets while empowering engineers to troubleshoot independently.
Key takeaways:
• A clear framework for governance through structured tagging and access control
• How to onboard teams, monitor usage, and enforce policies
• Proven techniques to reduce admin burden, prevent cost overruns, and align teams with compliance goals
• A guided tour of the new Governance Console, a single pane of glass for discovering, enforcing, and automating guardrails.
This session will equip you with actionable insights and provide a look at what’s next for Datadog governance.
