The ONUG Collaborative Policy as Code Working Group brings together Enterprise Cloud Consumers, IT suppliers and Cloud Service Providers to meet the demands of risk mitigation via automated governance in the face of increasing challenges and complexity brought on by multi-cloud infrastructure in today’s enterprise technology platforms.
Policy as code formalizes business intent into code, creating intent-driven software that can be evaluated across multiple cloud providers and on-prem systems. Such code allows for enforcing policies across and within the infrastructure, providing appropriate compliance guidelines and guardrails. Policy as code is foundational to the design and delivery of an automated continuous control framework. Policy as code puts control directly in the hands of the business consumer versus the IT/Cloud Service Provider supplier.
If managing risk and automation in a multi-cloud world with policy as code is important to you and your organization, then we welcome you to participate in this working group
Beginning in July of 2022, this new Working Group seeks to identify the issues, challenges and areas of concern that will need to be addressed going forward. These include:
Creating more robust approaches to developing and enforcing policy governance begins with the development of a “well-defined Policy as Code framework,”as well as a “standard approach” to operationalizing Policy as Code – one where all terms are crisply defined – and with clear guardrails articulated.

The ONUG Collaborative provides a means for both IT executives and cloud vendors to engage and work together in a problem-solving atmosphere/culture to facilitate innovative approaches that speed cloud adoption for all companies regardless of where they are on their enterprise cloud journey.
The Collaborative is represented by the largest cloud consumers as well as cloud providers enabling each of the Collaborative Working Groups to identify gaps and facilitate hybrid/multi-cloud solutions.
