Navigating Cloud Governance: A Roadmap For Compliance And Control Across AWS And Azure Environments

Ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements and implementing robust security measures are paramount in the cloud. Cloud Governance Frameworks provide the structure and policies necessary to maintain compliance and mitigate security risks.

• 
  2️⃣ Cost Optimization

• With the dynamic nature of cloud environments, controlling costs can be challenging. Governance frameworks help organizations optimize resource usage, enforce budget controls, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
  
  3️⃣ Risk Management
  Effective governance reduces operational risks by establishing policies for data protection, disaster recovery, and access control. It enables proactive risk identification and mitigation strategies to safeguard business continuity.
  
  Key Components of Cloud Governance Frameworks
  
  

Define and enforce policies governing resource provisioning, access control, data encryption, and compliance requirements across AWS and Azure environments.

• 2️⃣ Resource Tagging

• Implement standardized tagging practices to categorize resources, track usage, and allocate costs effectively. Tags facilitate resource management, cost allocation, and compliance auditing.
  
  

Establish granular access controls and role-based permissions to govern user access to cloud resources. IAM policies ensure least privilege access and strengthen security posture.
