Overview

As enterprises move more and more applications to the cloud, they run dozens or even hundreds of applications with mass cloud resources. A large number of users, including enterprise employees, outsourced employees, and partners, need to access these cloud resources. Risks such as resource idleness, misoperations, malicious operations, data leakage, and permission misconfiguration increase exponentially as the scale of cloud use grows.

You must build a lean, centralized, and structured IT governance system to effectively control these risks, maximize your business benefits, and ensure continuous growth.

Huawei Cloud's IT governance practices and customer experience have led us to create a cloud-based lean governance system, as shown in the following figure. This system centrally manages people, finance, resources, permissions, and security compliance. In this figure, hierarchical and domain-based organization management, centralized IT management, all-round data boundary, and refined permission control are part of Huawei Cloud's Landing Zone solution. Refined cost operations belong to Huawei Cloud's FinOps solution.
