Guardrail-aware infrastructure automation

Infrastructure, written right the first time.

Cloudentail generates Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests against your org's guardrails at write-time — and catches drift the moment it happens. Built for teams without a dedicated platform engineer.

The problem

Engineers still write infra by hand — and find out about drift when something breaks.

Repetitive, error-prone authoring

Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests get hand-written for every environment, over and over, with copy-paste risk baked in.

Drift found by accident

Infrastructure drifts silently after it's applied. Teams usually find out during an incident, not before one.

Guardrails live in someone's head

Before writing infra, engineers dig through internal docs or wikis for the org's standards — and skip it under deadline pressure.

The product

One loop: generate against your rules, then watch what happens after.

Generate

Guardrails at write-time

Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests generated with your org's guardrails baked in at creation — not checked afterward, and not editable post-generation, so what shipped is what was validated.

Detect

Continuous drift detection

Per-stack drift scanning across AWS, GCP, and Azure on a schedule you set — from every 15 minutes to weekly — so drift surfaces as a signal, not an incident.

Already built and running

Live security scanning: AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub Per-tenant key management Dev→staging→uat→prod promotion pipeline Jira → PR → multi-cluster K8s pipeline
The full platform

Guardrails and drift are the front door. Here's what's underneath.

Guardrail-aware IaC generation

Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests generated against your org's standards at creation time.

Immutable generated output

Generated code can't be silently edited — changes happen through a controlled promotion flow, not ad hoc rewrites.

Scoped override editor

Promotion between environments only touches a defined, limited set of fields — auto-detected replacements or custom find/replace.

Per-stack drift scheduling

Scan cadence from every 15 minutes to weekly, set per stack, not forced to one global schedule.

Live security scanning

Infra checks across AWS, GCP, and Azure, plus GitHub repo scanning for hardcoded secrets and Terraform misconfigurations.

Compliance dashboard

Posture score and severity breakdown in one view, instead of digging through scan logs.

Environment promotion pipeline

Dev → staging → UAT → prod, with an override editor for what has to change between stages.

Jira → PR → deploy pipeline

Jira tickets flow into generated code, opened as a PR, then fanned out to parallel Terraform plan, Ansible dry-run, and Kubernetes dry-run checks.

Per-tenant GitHub webhooks

HMAC-validated webhooks scoped per tenant, not a shared integration surface.

Multi-cluster Kubernetes

Target a specific cluster per stack, validated against tenant ownership before anything runs.

Cross-cloud by default

AWS, GCP, and Azure supported from the same generation and drift-detection flow.

Per-tenant key management

Dedicated backend storage per customer; BYOK available on Enterprise for full customer-controlled keys.

Who it's for

Startups running infra without a dedicated platform team.

  • Under ~20 engineers, no dedicated platform or DevOps hire yet
  • Already running Terraform, Ansible, or Kubernetes
  • One or two generalist engineers own infra part-time, alongside their main job
  • Feeling drift and guardrail gaps as a daily tax, not a hypothetical risk

"Built out of a mix of first-hand and observed experience: hand-writing IaC, hunting for guardrails mid-sprint, and watching drift surface as incidents instead of warnings."

Every company writes infrastructure. Few write it right the first time.

Cloudentail is pre-revenue and taking on a small number of early design partners. If your team runs Terraform, Ansible, or Kubernetes without a dedicated platform hire, let's talk.
