Abstract :
We leverage cloud governance for the simple reason that, once we get to a certain number of cloud services, we won´t be able to keep track of them all and provide the control they´ll require. Those who leverage many services provided by public and private clouds call this the tipping point, or the point where the number of services being managed becomes so high that´s it´s impossible to manage them properly without a governance model, approach, and service governance technology. So, how do you implement service governance for the cloud? This article looks at both the concept of cloud governance, including why it´s needed, and how to do it. It breaks down governance into its component parts, explains each part, and examines how to implement service governance for your cloud implementation.
