Abstract
An agile governance system provides recommendations for infrastructure change requests concerning a cloud-based computer environment in accordance with security policies regarding data to be used in connection with applications impacted by the requests. The nature and character of the data is determined using an interactive dialog with a requesting entity. Possible responses provided by the requesting entity are mapped to security policy requirements, which, in turn, are used to determine infrastructure stack requirements. Where pre-approved solutions that satisfy the security needs for the requested infrastructure change exist, they are recommended; otherwise, the requesting entity is presented with the recommendation for the requested infrastructure change along with a list of required approvals and approvers.
