Cloud governance is critical to executing a systemic, supportable, and sustainable cloud transformation strategy. This session explores best practices to achieve that model, including standards policies, automation that consistently applies and enforces policies and controls, self-service capabilities that enable agility and speed, and automated monitoring and cost management that ensure operational integrity. A well-developed cloud governance model enables customers to improve operational integrity, reliability, performance, and transparency using the AWS cloud. This session guides you through a best practice governance model, including policy considerations and recommendations, self-service automation methods towards IT-as-a-Service, and use case examples.
