In the trendy wide adoption of the cloud computing solutions, the relevant challenge has changed from the opportunities and capabilities offered to the governance issues when moving to this new computing paradigm. Since, the enterprises are considerably interested about keeping control even in the virtual environment. To fulfill this objective an architectural approach is introduced: Governance-based Architecture for Enterprise Cloud Computing Adoption. As an alternative to the big organism's Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (CCRA) which is provider-centric, the proposed architecture is consumer-centric and tries to deal with the enterprise requirements and needs. The core architecture is articulated in seven modules which are enveloped by a Unified Cloud Service Interface.
