Resource Policies
Resource policies in the cloud refer to rules and configurations that control the access, permissions, and usage of cloud resources.
Key Aspects of Resource Policies:
- Access Control: Define who can access specific resources and what actions they can perform.
- Permissions Management: Assign granular permissions to users and roles.
- Resource Sharing: Share resources across users, accounts, or organizations.
- Security: Enforce security measures to protect resources from unauthorized access.
- Compliance: Ensure resource usage aligns with industry and regulatory standards.
- Usage Limits: Set usage quotas and limits for resources to avoid overutilization.
- Cost Management: Optimize resource usage to control costs.
- Network Policies: Define rules for network traffic between resources.
- Data Encryption: Implement encryption policies to protect data at rest and in transit.
- Policy Enforcement: Ensure policies are consistently enforced across resources.
- Monitoring and Auditing: Track resource activity and changes for audit purposes.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define policies through code for automated deployment.
