ControlMonkey
The IaC-native Cloud Governance Platform.
Overview
ControlMonkey is a SaaS platform focused on Terraform operations (TFOps). It continuously monitors for drift by comparing the live cloud infrastructure to the Terraform state. When drift is detected, it provides real-time alerts and offers one-click remediation options, such as reconciling the infrastructure to match the code or aligning the code to match the infrastructure changes. The platform also includes features to generate Terraform code from existing resources and a full CI/CD pipeline for infrastructure.
