🔧 Configuration

Cloud Provider Setup

Realm9 supports multiple authentication methods for each cloud provider:

AWS:

• IAM roles with assume-role policies
• Access keys with secret management
• Multi-region support

Azure:

• Service principals with subscription access
• Managed identities
• Azure Active Directory integration

GCP:

• Service accounts with project-level permissions
• Workload Identity Federation
• Multi-project support

📊 Resource Discovery

Automatic Asset Discovery

• AWS Config for AWS resource inventory
• Azure Resource Graph for Azure assets
• Cloud Asset Inventory for GCP resources
• Real-time synchronization
• Change tracking

Service Mapping

Realm9 automatically discovers and categorizes resources across all connected cloud providers:

• Compute: Virtual machines, containers, serverless functions
• Databases: Managed databases, NoSQL services, data warehouses
• Storage: Object storage, block storage, file systems
• Networking: VPCs, load balancers, CDNs
• Security: IAM policies, security groups, encryption keys

💰 Cost Optimization

Multi-Cloud Spend Analysis

• Unified billing dashboard
• Cost breakdown by service/region/tag
• Trend analysis and forecasting
• Anomaly detection
• Reserved instance recommendations

Resource Right-Sizing

• Underutilized resource identification
• Instance family recommendations
• Storage tier optimization
• Network transfer cost reduction

🔒 Security & Governance

Policy as Code

Realm9 supports policy-as-code for consistent governance across all cloud providers. Define policies once and enforce them everywhere:

• Encryption Requirements: Enforce encryption for storage and data services
• Tagging Standards: Ensure consistent resource tagging
• Cost Controls: Prevent creation of expensive resources
• Compliance: Enforce industry standards (CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA)

Compliance Automation

• CIS Benchmarks for all three clouds
• Industry standards (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2)
• Custom policy creation
• Automated remediation
• Compliance reporting

🚀 Getting Started

Installation
