Why AWS Cloud Governance?

Move faster while adhering to your security, operational, compliance, and cost standards

Cloud governance is a set of rules, processes, and reports that guide your organization to follow best practices. You can establish cloud governance across your AWS estate, which includes the accounts, infrastructure, and environments that you own and operate in the AWS Cloud. Use built-in best practices and standards for governance to guide your AWS operations. Meet regulatory requirements confidently with comprehensive controls. And achieve consistent governance of your multi-account AWS environment with best-in-class interoperable services.
