Summary
In this chapter, we looked at some essential areas for IT controls, change management, and financial resource management, where configuration options exist for identity and access management within the three major cloud providers. We covered where policy and tagging configuration can be found and how this information may be automated and influence access.
We also reviewed tools available for change management controls in a CI/CD cloud environment, as well as how to view change history. We finished this chapter by reviewing some features available for billing and cost controls and the importance of determining financial resource ownership.
In the next chapter, we’ll look at executing an effective cloud portal audit plan and some tips and techniques that will support that.
