Cloud infrastructure entitlement management refers to the process of managing access to and control over the underlying infrastructure of a cloud computing environment, such as the hardware and software resources that support the delivery of cloud services. This includes managing access to physical and virtual resources, such as servers, storage, networking, and software applications.
Cloud infrastructure entitlement management involves defining and enforcing policies that determine which users or groups of users have access to which resources, as well as monitoring and auditing access to ensure compliance with these policies. It is typically implemented using a combination of identity and access management (IAM) tools, security protocols and controls, and automated processes for provisioning and de-provisioning resources.
The goal of cloud infrastructure entitlement management is to ensure that only authorized users have access to the resources they need to perform their jobs, while also protecting against unauthorized access and misuse of these resources. It can also help organizations optimize the use of their cloud infrastructure and reduce the risk of overprovisioning or underutilization, which can result in cost savings.
