Today, most organizations use tools like CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation to create their infrastructure following IaC principles.

When it comes to maintaining these cloud resources over time, however, many still resort to an assortment of scripts to fulfill specific maintenance needs. Such scripts introduce inconsistencies across the organization.

Resoto provides quick access to your entire infrastructure inventory and lets you modify or clean up cloud resources. But up until now, you needed to write custom Python plugins to perform actions Resoto doesn't support out of the box.

We introduced a powerful new feature in Resoto 3.5: Infrastructure Apps.

Infrastructure Apps extend Resoto's base functionality, empowering you to perform custom tasks like fixing untagged resources, identifying abandoned load balancers, sending notifications to other systems, or calling webhooks.

Last month, we merged a total of 33 pull requests and released Resoto 3.4.1.

This release introduces the Security Benchmarks CLI as well as a new Neighborhood View.

Managing and tracking cloud resources can be challenging, especially when multiple teams are involved. Cloud resource tagging, which involves labeling resources with metadata, is essential for improving visibility and cost control over these resources.

Resoto's TagGuard module simplifies the tagging process.

In this blog post, we'll provide a brief overview of the benefits of implementing a tagging policy and best practices for creating and enforcing it, based on our recently published white paper.

Performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources is an important step in ensuring the security and compliance of your organization's cloud environment.

While security benchmarks are often associated with large corporations, they provide invaluable insights and guidance for organizations and individuals of all sizes. Benchmarks offer a wealth of information on potential security risks, best practices, and compliance requirements that can help fortify your cloud environment—even if you're not legally obligated to adhere to them.

In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources and introduce Resoto Sentinel, the Resoto security module designed to simplify the benchmarking process.

Resoto offers an open-source approach to use infrastructure data to solve today's most pressing cloud problems: cost, resilience, security, and compliance.

In this post, I share the story of how D2iQ, an enterprise Kubernetes provider, used Resoto to reduce their annual cloud bill by 78% and save $5.4M per year.
