- Tutorial: Getting Started with WSO2 Governance as a Service

As SOA adoption grows in an enterprise, SOA resources such as processes and policies must be securely managed. WSO2 Governance Registry addresses both design-time and runtime governance scenarios, to ensure compliance with corporate standards. It allows enterprise architects and developers to always keep track of the services being created and used within an SOA.
Keeping control of your SOA starts with an easy to use metadata repository, complete with support for full versioning, lifecycle management, a rich model for users/roles/permissions, and social features such as tagging, rating, and comments. Adding to that, the WSO2 Governance Registry integrates with other WSO2 products to collect metadata about services, centralizes policy metadata, and manages dependencies. The WSO2 Governance Registry connects SOA infrastructure with the people, processes, and policies essential to an effective SOA.

Keep track of SOA resources with metadata
Services and many types of resources associated with an SOA need to be cataloged so they are easy to find and use. WSO2 Governance Registry makes it easy to attach descriptive metadata to SOA resources so they can be indexed and managed.
Manage the lifecycle of services and other resources
The SOA resource repository within WSO2 Governance Registry allows users to associate lifecycles with specific services. Groups of similar services or resources can be promoted or demoted to different phases within the lifecycle in batches.
Control access to resources with user permissions
WSO2 Governance Registry provides a customizable enterprise security model. Organizations can define what different levels of access, users and resources have and easily set permissions and monitor usage.
