Abstract

Cloud computing has become an integral part of the modern information technology systems that provides organizations with an elastic, ‎scalable, and on-demand access to computing resources that promote innovation, flexibility of operations, and cost effectiveness. Cloud platforms provide organizations with the ability to adapt to workload and business needs effectively and in real time by providing dynamically ‎scaling storage, processing capacity, and networking. Nevertheless, such technical advantages do not eliminate the fact that the management ‎of cloud-based resources cannot be well handled without proper coordination between the engineering design principles and organizational ‎management practices. Distributed architectures, flexible resource consumption, cybersecurity issues, regulatory compliance, and variability ‎in costs make life difficult for the Information Technology) IT managers and system engineers. This paper provides a cloud-based IT resource ‎management engineering framework, which includes both technical and managerial factors. The architecture specifies important pieces of the ‎system, such as resource monitoring systems, automated systems to provide features, stratagems to maximize performance, cost control ‎measures, and security governance systems. It also refers to how centralized management platforms can be used to promote data-based decision-making, operational transparency, and system reliability in dynamic cloud environments. By analyzing the literature and best practices ‎that are common in the industry, the given study exposes the key issues in governance and efficiency and suggests systematic engineering measures to improve accountability and performance. The suggested framework offers practical advice on how to align the capabilities of cloud infrastructure with the organizational aims in the complicated IT environment‎.
