You joke about putting everything on the cloud, but it is one of the things that can massively accelerate innovation because you're no longer bound by paperwork to spin up a new server, or bound by server capacity for that matter.
You can well have a government organization which embraces the cloud, yet keeps exactly the same level of paperwork for acquiring or activating resources. It is a cultural matter well before a technological one.
And your Docker/k8s image provider is not bound by security policies to actually enable the firewall and/or have a default password at all for your database.
Yeah, you can no longer be bound by paperwork. But - having worked in digitalization projects for several megacorps - Bureaucracy is a beast, and it refuses to die - before long, you have now underemployed bureaucrats taking four weeks for registering an (internal) domain or a 14-page-project-outline with no less than 5 alignment meetings (involving ITSec, Compliance, the GDPR lawyer (even though you don't handle user-data), someone who wants to be promoted and 10 guys from Accenture for slidedeck-preparation) for a VM.
