Open SourceFundedAutomate cloud resource management with policy-driven infrastructure as code.
About Cloud Custodian
Cloud Custodian is an open-source tool designed to help enterprises manage and govern their cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with beta support for Kubernetes, Tencent Cloud, and OpenStack. It enables organizations to define policies using a simple YAML-based domain-specific language (DSL) to filter, tag, and take automated actions on cloud resources, ensuring compliance, security, and cost optimization.
Intended for cloud operations, security, and DevOps teams, Cloud Custodian replaces ad-hoc scripting with standardized, policy-as-code workflows that can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines. It supports real-time compliance enforcement by integrating with cloud providers' control planes, providing unified metrics and reporting. The tool also facilitates cost management by automating resource scheduling and cleanup based on utilization metrics. Its flexibility allows deployment locally, on instances, or serverlessly via AWS Lambda, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments.
