Enterprises have accepted the cloud. 94 percent of them are using cloud computing, according to a survey by Flexera<\/a>. But, on average, five or more cloud providers are used. The typical cloud portfolio has become a sprawl of services, often consisting of mostly isolated siloed services. As a result,<\/a> while cloud computing has dramatically reduced capital costs, operational costs for managing cloud have ballooned in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to bring order to their cloud management strategy, enterprises are turning to cloud governance. Cloud governance is a set of rules you create, monitor, and amend as necessary in order to control costs, improve efficiency, and eliminate security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
