What is Cloud Computing Governance?

Cloud computing governance is a method of information and technology (I&T) governance focused on accountability, defining decision rights and balancing benefit, risk and resources in an environment that embraces cloud computing. ... Enterprises should begin by establishing cloud computing governance principles. ^[1]

At the most abstract level, governance seeks to ensure that what we are governing is doing the right things right:

Are we doing the right things?
Are we doing them the right way?
How do we know?

Cloud computing governance is a view of IT governance focused on accountability, defining decision rights and balancing benefit or value, risk, and resources in an environment embracing cloud computing. Cloud computing governance creates business-driven policies and principles that establish the appropriate degree of investments and control around the lifecycle process for cloud computing services.

This ensures all enterprise expenditures related to cloud are aligned with the business objectives, promote data integrity across the enterprise, encourage innovation, and mitigate the risk of data loss or non-compliance with regulations. It recognizes that cloud computing increases the pervasive nature of IT and ensures enterprise-level decision-makers are able to address the overall IT investment, resource requirements, opportunities for value, and implications of risk – regardless of organization or delivery provider. ^[2]
