Hybrid Cloud Just Got a Whole Lot Simpler (especially for MSPs)

Last week, we announced ControlMonkey now supports the VMware Terraform provider , a big step forward for enterprises that still rely on on-prem workloads. But for MSPs, this is more than a great new feature release. It opens up a whole new way of working…

Every MSP lives the hybrid problem at scale: dozens of customers and hundreds of environments, each with its own unique mix of cloud, VMware, and legacy infra. That meant each one also needed its own playbook. Until now.

The MSP Reality

Anybody who runs an MSP gets this problem: half your customers are all-in on AWS, Azure, or GCP. The rest still run critical systems on VMware. Sometimes that’s by design. Often, it’s the result of inertia.

MSP engineers can spend hours moving between consoles, manually enforcing policies, and reconciling two worlds: one built on code, the other on clicks. Said differently: all that duplicated effort, inconsistent governance, and constant drag is a structural problem, not just an operational one.

ControlMonkey Makes “One Platform, Many Customers” a Reality

ControlMonkey’s support for the VMware Terraform provider solves MSP’s two-worlds problems. Now, they can manage every customer, in the cloud or on-prem, through a single, unified Terraform automation platform. All using the same controls, approval paths, and audit trail.

That means significant benefits for MSPs:

• Governance once, applied everywhere.
• Visibility across all customer inventories in real time.
• Early detection of ClickOps and out-of-band changes.
• Standardized onboarding in days, not weeks.

And because every environment, from vSphere to NSX to vCenter, is now backed up as code, remediation becomes regular routine, not reactive.

Operational Confidence as Business Advantage

Seeing drift before a customer feels it doesn’t just reduce risk, it reduces tickets. Engineers recover faster, SLAs tighten, and customers start to notice the difference.

The result? Less fatigue for your team and more trust from your clients.

Over time, that trust compounds: faster renewals, higher margins, and easier expansion into new accounts. This is what VMware support means in practice: operational confidence at MSP scale.

The Future is Hybrid

Hybrid isn’t going away.

CIOs will keep running critical workloads on-prem, and MSPs will keep managing both sides. What changes now is the complexity required. ControlMonkey gives MSPs a single operating model for all of it: the same automation, guardrails, and resilience that enterprises use internally, now extended across every customer they serve.

Ultimately, governance is a product. And with ControlMonkey’s new release, MSPs can deliver it consistently, confidently, and at scale.
