The five disciplines of cloud governance

Microsoft's five cloud governance disciplines form the basic framework for the efficient and secure management of cloud resources in modern IT environments.

Cost Management

Cost control is of central importance for cloud users.
It includes the development of cost control policies for all cloud platforms.

Safety baseline

Security is a complex issue that is individual to each company.
The security requirements are defined and applied to network, data and resource configurations.

The identity baseline discipline ensures that identities are applied consistently during cloud adoption.
