What Turbot Guardrails is

Turbot Guardrails is a cloud governance platform for policy-driven remediation and continuous compliance. Its event-driven detection evaluates changes and automatically addresses misconfigurations in seconds. Cloud CMDB coverage lists AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub and Kubernetes, while the Cloud plan includes a policy engine with more than 14,000 policies. Listed governance features include continuous compliance, self-healing infrastructure-as-code deployments and multi-cloud identity management. The product comparison also names a GraphQL API, Terraform Provider, Turbot CLI and Steampipe integrations. Guardrails Cloud offers a fully functional 14-day trial in US or EU cloud environments; that trial does not apply to Guardrails Enterprise. Enterprise runs within a customer's AWS environment and lets the customer control network architecture, upgrades, security configuration and environment access. Kubernetes clusters connect through an agent that reports resource data, and documentation describes a ServiceNow CMDB sync integration.
