Abstract

Large-scale adoption of cloud computing has resulted in the fragmentation of responsibilities over IT resources between consumers and providers of cloud services, necessitating the re-assessment of governance principles and processes. In this paper we have described a Cloud Computing Governance Reference Model that is an adaptation of the SOA Governance Reference Model with specific extensions to cover the governance requirements of cloud computing environments. The reference model includes definition of guiding principles and specification of governance processes.
