Procurement
When you buy cloud technologies, you are
not buying physical assets tailored to your
needs. You are paying for access to
standardized compute, storage, and other IT
services, and you run in a CSP's data centers.
You are only paying for the resources you
use. This makes buying cloud technologies
different than buying traditional on-premises
hardware.
Legal
Cloud terms and conditions are designed to
reflect how a cloud services model functions.
For example, physical assets are not being
purchased, CSPs operate at a massive one-
to-many scale to offer standardized services,
,and so on. It is therefore critical that you:
Engage CSPs early to get the best fit and
resolve differences.
Avoid traditional IT terms and conditions as
the basis for a cloud contract.
Incorporate and use the CSP's terms to the
fullest extent possible to avoid misalignment.
Recognize the different terms and conditions
among CSPs, cloud-managed service
providers, and resellers.

Governance
Governance (that is, how customers manage
and use the cloud in their organization) is a
shared responsibility.
CSPs provide features and services to build
cloud governance into every aspect of a
cloud environment. You bring your existing
cloud governance standards and learn how to
govern your cloud environment using the
tools provided by CSPs.

Pay as you go utility model
Unlike traditional IT infrastructure where you
must guess your usage and pay up front for
resources, cloud users only need to pay for
what they consume. Therefore, cloud
acquisition strategies need to account for
fluctuating demand, with a contract that lets
you pay for services as they are consumed.
Finance Markey Pricing
Cloud pricing fluctuates based on market
pricing. To take advantage of the dynamic
and competitive nature of cloud pricing, you
should allow for flexibility in your
procurement strategy.
Compliance
You may need to work inside certain
geographic requirements when procuring
cloud. For example, US health departments
require compliance with both of these:
The US Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
The Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act
