RAM Real-time Asset Monitor

What

Audit Google Cloud resources (the assets) compliance against a set of rules when the resource is updated. The stream of detected non compliances could then be consumed to alert, report or even fix on the fly.

Use cases

1. Security compliance, usually 80% of the rules
2. Operational compliance
   • E.g. each Cloud SQL MySQL instance should have a defined maintenance window to avoid downtime
3. Financial Operations (finOps) compliance
   • E.g. Do not provision anymore N1 virtual machines instances, instead provision N2: the price performance ratio is better

Why

• It is all easier to fix when it is detected early
• Value is delivered only when a detected non compliance is fixed

Release

• Release candidates:
  • are suffixed with -rc
  • are volatile
  • should be used only by their developer for testing purpose and can disapear without notice
