ControlMonkey
The IaC-native Cloud Governance Platform.
Overview
ControlMonkey is a SaaS platform that enhances Terraform operations with features for discovery, management, and automation. It can discover existing cloud resources and generate Terraform code for them. A core feature is its continuous drift detection engine, which not only identifies discrepancies but also provides remediation options, such as reverting changes or importing resources into the state.
