Chapter 12. Cloud Management and Governance in Azure

In a Cloud Journey, before building any migration strategy and talking about cloud migration, it is important to govern the environment and workloads. In an on-premises environment, organizations already have their policies and rules that can be optimized and completed by Cloud governance to pursue guiding it in the cloud operations. We cannot guarantee the success of adoption and ensure that data security, system integration, asset deployment, and cloud computing are properly managed if it is not governed because we may encounter unexpected problems. We must align cloud adoption with cloud governance functions or the creation of a new team that deals with governance. Commitment to cloud governance ensures that a complex hybrid environment meets organizational policies, compliance obligations, and security best practices.
