Cloud Governance
Control, efficiency and speed with Azure.
What is Cloud Governance?
It is defined as the ability to provide strategic direction, track performance, allocate resources, and make adjustments to ensure organizational goals are met, without violating risk tolerance parameters or compliance obligations.
The concept of governance applied to the cloud includes the people, processes, technology associated with its infrastructure, security, and operations in the cloud. This should not be confused with cloud management. Government implies a framework with a set of standard policies and practices. This could include guidelines for cost optimization, resilience, security, and corporate policy compliance.
Why is Cloud governance so important?
In the public cloud, because decisions are made in a decentralized manner and at a rapid pace, a governance model or policy becomes critical.
Keeping the entire organization aligned, meeting organizational directives already created for traditional systems or technology, and extending to the cloud is not an easy job.
Taking into account the new features that the public cloud adds, such as the elasticity of the infrastructure, speed of provisioning, among others, it can be a challenge to maintain control over resources and processes.
“In the age of the cloud, the key metric is speed“
As companies less measure or control their product teams trying to gain speed and time to market, there can be great risks in complying with traditional security processes.
This means that leaders of organizations and teams must turn to more efficient tools and processes that meet two objectives, provide best practices and perform automated integrity checks without hampering the speed of development of their products or services.
Without cloud governance, operations can quickly spiral out of control.
