Cloud management
Govern cloud infrastructure without three consoles
What is cloud management with DevOpsArk?
Cloud management with DevOpsArk means governing infrastructure across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud from one inventory: configuration baseline, access, cost and security posture measured the same way regardless of provider.
What this solution addresses
- Each provider has its own console, its own vocabulary and its own cost report.
- Resources are created for a project and never cleaned up.
- Configuration baselines exist per provider, so a rule applied in one is missing in another.
- Access is granted in three IAM systems and reviewed in none.
- Nobody can produce a single figure for total spend by team.
Inventory, baseline and cost normalised so comparison is possible.
Orphans are surfaced with their running cost rather than absorbed.
Spend deviations found in a day rather than at invoice time.
Stage by stage, with the modules that deliver each one
Every stage links to the modules that implement it, so the path from outcome to capability is explicit.
Inventory
Every account, host, cluster, volume, load balancer and record discovered and indexed with an owner.
Baseline
One configuration and security baseline evaluated against every provider rather than three separate ones.
Protect
Backups with tested restores, secrets centralised, certificates renewed before they expire.
Attribute
Normalised cost across providers, decomposed to team and service with waste listed as specific items.
Everything involved in this solution
Servers
Fleet inventory, patching and access
Cost Management
Cloud and Kubernetes cost attribution
Security
Posture, policy and continuous verification
Backups
Backups with restores that are actually tested
DNS Management
Records, zones and change safety
IAM
Access, roles and approvals
Cloud management: frequently asked questions
A cloud management platform provides one place to inventory, govern, secure and account for infrastructure running across multiple cloud providers, instead of using each provider console and reconciling the results.
For cross-cutting work (inventory, posture, cost, access review, delivery) yes, because those questions need one answer. Provider-specific configuration still happens where it belongs; DevOpsArk observes and governs it rather than hiding it.
Billing exports from each provider are mapped into one model with a common resource taxonomy, so spend can be compared and totalled rather than read three times in three formats.
Read-only is enough for inventory, posture and cost. Write permissions are separate and granted per account and per action type only where you want DevOpsArk to make changes.
