Cloud governance is the set of rules IT teams follow to ensure the speed, reliability and efficiency of a cloud environment. A cloud governance model is critical to helping a business navigate everyday challenges and achieve organizational objectives. Without a cloud governance model in place, everyday decisions and operations can lead to IT practices that harm the performance of cloud-based applications and workloads.
When creating a cloud governance model, IT teams need to consider set standards for:
- Cost
- Resiliency
- Risk tolerance
- Security
- Compliance
