Also, establishing usage thresholds to alert administrators when resource utilization is excessively high can help prevent unexpected overuse of resources. Real-time dashboards and applications such as System Center Operations Manager or Azure Monitor/Service Health can be used for monitoring the level of service usage so that preventive measures, such as scaling up services to keep them available or scaling down services to save money, can be taken accordingly.
Managing access and permissions requires an effective, secure, and well-structured system. Role-based access control policies should be strictly implemented across the organization so that each project team can assign adequate roles based on employee needs. Sysadmin privileges should also be given for more technical tasks such as setting up virtual machines, etc., and a comprehensive list of user accounts must be kept to assist in security auditing processes. It is important to have secure visibility into cloud environments at all times through monitoring exposures with reports indicating any potential risks related to configurations or policy changes, thus providing protection against malicious activities targeting administrator credentials or sensitive data being exposed online due to misconfigurations in settings.
