The onboarding process can be completed in less than 3 minutes by connecting your cloud account and VCS provider.
Where does the Terraform code ControlMonkey generates reside?

ControlMonkey generates the code, and you then push it to your Git repository to manage it from there.
Can ControlMonkey support my existing Terraform code?
Yes, absolutely!
ControlMonkey supports any shape and type of Terraform code, regardless if it was generated by ControlMonkey or not.
If you already have Terraform code that manages your cloud resources you can leverage capabilities around Terraform CI/CD, Self-service infrastructure dashboard, full cloud visibility, drift detection and remediation and more.
Do you support multiple Git repositories and multiple VCS providers?
Yes, you can add any amount of GIT repositories and VCS providers (Github, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps).
How can I leverage ControlMonkey in case my infrastructure is already managed with Code?
The main benefit of ControlMonkey is to give your team an efficient way to manage cloud infrastructure and to keep your production secured, complaint and cost-efficient, while saving many man hours.
ControlMonkey capabilities for environments that are already managed by code:
– Single pane-of-glass to all your infrastructure so you can identify any deviations from your desired state.
– Terraform CI/CD pipeline out-of-the-box so you can shift left cloud policies like cost, security, tagging and more to save your team time on manual code review.
– Self-service infrastructure dashboard to allow other people in the organization to be able to spin up infrastructure without any Terraform experience.
Can I keep using my own state files and remote backend?
Absolutely!
You are not required to change anything in your current Terraform configuration.
Which cloud providers does ControlMonkey support?
ControlMonkey supports all Terraform providers, meaning you can manage any kind of infrastructure with our platform.
