Cloud governance is a key component of any successful cloud journey. It provides a blueprint for building and operating your cloud environment. A strong cloud governance model can benefit organizations in several ways.

Firstly, it simplifies operations by reducing operational complexity while increasing efficiency, observability and cost control. This is achieved by having one policy that governs your entire IT estate.
Secondly, it unlocks business value by delivering services to citizens anywhere at any time. This allows organizations to modernize their legacy infrastructure and easily scale up and down as needed.
Thirdly, it helps organizations meet government cloud security and compliance standards while managing costs.
On the other hand, not having a strong cloud governance can lead to several typical failures. These may include lack of visibility into cloud usage and spend, inefficient use of resources leading to increased costs, and failure to meet compliance standards.
