1. A computer-implemented method for determining configuration changes in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising:
receiving, by a central cloud computing account, an indication of first configuration information for a first non-centralized cloud computing account associated with a first geographical region and second configuration information for a second non-centralized cloud computing account associated with a second geographical region,
wherein the first configuration information is in a first format for a first cloud computing resource associated with the first non-centralized cloud computing account and the second configuration information is in a second format for a second cloud computing resource associated with the second non-centralized cloud computing account;
transforming, for the first non-centralized cloud computing account and the second non-centralized cloud computing account, based on a reorder of policy statement keys for a respective policy statement and preset order for statements of the respective policy statement determined by respective statement identifiers, the first configuration information and the second configuration information into a common format;
transforming, based on format instructions, an update for at least a portion of the first configuration information in the first format and an update for at least a portion of the second configuration information in the second format into the common format; and
causing display of the update for at least the portion of the first configuration information in the common format or the update for at least the portion of the second configuration information in the common format.
