Introducing Azure Bicep Support

Azure teams often rely on Bicep alongside Terraform for managing their infrastructure with code, and without unified visibility, recovery gaps go unnoticed until it’s too late.

ControlMonkey now supports Azure Bicep as part of its IaC coverage model, extending visibility and disaster recovery awareness to Azure-native infrastructure.

This capability is available to all ControlMonkey customers starting today.

Key benefits Azure Bicep Backup & Visibility:

  • Full visibility into Azure resources managed by Bicep
  • Clear separation between codified and non-codified infrastructure
  • Improved disaster recovery readiness for Azure-native stacks
  • Reduced blind spots during ransomware or cyber incidents
  • IaC visibility and recovery coverage across Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep

Cloud Infrastructure with Full IaC Visibility

Codified infrastructure can be restored after configuration loss or compromise. Unmanaged resources lack a reliable recovery path.

By including Azure Bicep in its IaC coverage, ControlMonkey helps teams:

  • Understand recovery readiness across Azure environments
  • Identify hidden DR risks caused by non-codified resources
  • Strengthen cloud governance without forcing tool migrations
  • Plan incident response with confidence during cyber or ransomware event.

This helps teams understand recovery readiness in environments that use multiple IaC frameworks.

Ready to see what’s recoverable and what isn’t?

Explore Azure Bicep visibility in ControlMonkey today.

    FQA about Azure Bicep and Controlmonkey

    Resources managed by Bicep are codified and can be rebuilt. ControlMonkey helps teams identify which resources fall into that category and which do not.

    No. Azure Bicep support is limited to visibility and disaster recovery awareness. Terraform automation remains unchanged.

    Yes. Like CloudFormation, Bicep is included for visibility and disaster recovery coverage, not automation.

    Time Machine for Cloud Architecture

    Zack Bentolila

    Marketing Director

    Time Machine for Cloud Architecture

    In most cloud environments, no system actually stores your cloud architecture relationships.

    Security groups, routing rules, IAM permissions, load balancers, and SaaS configurations exist – but the relationships between them are not saved anywhere. When a security incident or outage occurs, teams discover too late that there is no historical record of how resources were connected, what depended on what, or how access paths were structured at the time things worked.

    Introducing Architecture Time Machine

    Architecture Time Machine is a capability within the ControlMonkey IaC Automation Platform that preserves your cloud architecture and security posture on a timeline.

    Architecture Time Machine extends ControlMonkey’s Cloud Resilience platform by preserving your cloud architecture and resource dependencies over time, not just the resources themselves.

    With daily environment snapshots, you can move backward on a timeline and explore how your infrastructure was connected at any point in time.

    Key benefits:

    • Rewind cloud architecture in time – View how resources and dependencies looked on any given day.
    • Explore historical dependencies – Understand what was connected to what before a change or incident.
    • Speed up incident investigation – Quickly answer “what changed?” without guesswork.
    • Visualize complex environments – Interactive dependency graphs make large architectures easier to reason about.
    • Reduce recovery blind spots – Restore with architectural confidence, not assumptions.

    Who Benefits from Architecture Time Machine

    Cloud & DevOps Managers – Get immediate answers during incidents. Understand what changed without relying on tribal knowledge or manual reconstruction.

    Security & Compliance Teams – Validate historical configurations for audits (SOC, PCI, internal reviews) and investigate configuration drift over time.

    Cloud Architects – Review how architecture evolved over time, Identify unintended complexity, sprawl, or anti-pattern, Use historical views to guide standardization and governance decision

    CIO & CISO:

    • Gain confidence that cloud recovery is predictable and provable
    • Reduce operational and compliance risk tied to configuration loss
    • Understand recovery readiness without diving into technical detail

    Controlmonkey Cloud Disaster Recovery – for Configuration

    When traffic drops, services break, or behavior changes unexpectedly, the root cause is often a dependency change – a security group update, a route table modification, or a detached resource.

    Architecture Time Machine helps you:

    • Improve visibility into historical cloud states
    • Reduce risk during incident response and postmortems
    • Strengthen alignment between IaC, reality, and recovery
    • Scale cloud environments with confidence, knowing you can always look back

    Get Started: Cloud DR Readiness Assessment

    Before the next audit or incident, understand your real recovery risk.

    The Cloud DR Readiness Assessment gives security and compliance leaders a clear, executive-level view of cloud configuration recovery — without disrupting production.

      FQA about Architecture Time Machine

      Cloud architecture is the structure and relationships between cloud resources, defining how systems are connected, secured, and dependent on one another.

      ControlMonkey captures the structure, configuration, and relationships between cloud resources – not just the resources themselves.

      This includes:

      • Network architecture (VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, gateways)
      • Security and access controls (security groups, firewall rules, IAM roles and policies)
      • Traffic and exposure paths (load balancers, DNS, ingress/egress)
      • Resource dependencies (what was connected to what, and when)

      IaC and non-IaC resources (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, and manual changes)

          Temporal Backup & Governance 

          As workflow-driven systems scale, Temporal becomes a core dependency for long-running processes and background jobs. If Temporal Cloud configuration is deleted or drifts unexpectedly, workflows can fail, environments can break, and recovery turns into manual rebuilds. ControlMonkey now supports Temporal Backup so teams can restore critical workflow infrastructure configuration from a known-good daily snapshot.

          Introducing Temporal Backup

          Temporal is a workflow engine for running reliable, long-running processes. It powers application workflows, stateful execution, and durable background jobs—at scale.

          With ControlMonkey support for Temporal Cloud, customers get daily backups of key Temporal Cloud resources, including:

            New Relic Backup & Governance with ControlMonkey

            As organizations rely on real-time data pipelines, the configuration layer behind New Relic Disaster Recovery and Back-up is now available in ControlMonkey, giving DevOps teams a reliable way to back up and restore New Relic APM configurations just like they backup their cloud infrastructure.

            New Relic is a core Application Performance Monitoring (APM) platform used for live operations – powering dashboards, alerts, and incident response during production outages. Losing or misconfiguring it means losing visibility when it matters most.

            How ControlMonkey Protects Your New Relic Configuration

            ControlMonkey’s New Relic integration delivers automated New Relic backup and disaster recovery, fully managed through Terraform or OpenTufo and aligned with your cloud resources.

            ControlMonkey continuously discovers existing New Relic configurations and creates daily snapshots of the full APM configuration live state, and stores them as a governed, versioned source of truth. In the event of an outage, misconfiguration, or deletion, teams can restore New Relic configurations alongside the cloud resources they monitor.

            ControlMonkey GUI Showinf New Relic Backup

            What You Get with New Relic Backup

            With ControlMonkey, you can:

            • Automatically back up all New Relic configurations on a daily basis
            • Restore dashboards, alerts, and APM policies after outages or human error
            • Recover New Relic configurations tied to affected cloud resources
            • Maintain a governed, auditable source of truth for observability infrastructure

            Why New Relic Needs Backup and Disaster Recovery?

            New Relic is used for ongoing application and infrastructure monitoring. If its configuration is deleted or altered, teams lose monitoring and alerting during incident response and then they face undefined RTO (Recovery Time Objective) for observability. Monitoring and alerting must be rebuilt manually, delaying visibility during active incidents.

            New Relic disaster recovery defines and reduces observability RTO by enabling fast, consistent restoration of monitoring configurations.

            Benefits of ControlMonkey New Release Integration:

            ControlMonkey ensures your New Relic environment is:

            • Recoverable – Restore full APM configuration from backups
            • Resilient – Protect monitoring setups from deletions and misconfigurations
            • Governed – Enforce IaC alignment
            • Scalable – Protect New Relic as environments grow

              • Governance guardrails with drift detection for unapproved or unexpected changes

              Stay Ahead by Reducing Cloud Risk in Kafka Environments

              Streaming systems are mission critical-and fragile when configuration changes go unnoticed.
              With ControlMonkey, Confluent teams can:

              • Establish a real backup strategy for all Confluent Cloud configurations
              • Reduce operational and security risk from misconfigurations or privilege misuse

                New in ControlMonkey: Full IaC Automation for MongoDB Atlas

                Zack Bentolila

                Zack Bentolila

                Marketing Director

                New in ControlMonkey: Full IaC Automation for MongoDB Atlas

                As cloud environments grow, DevOps and SRE teams often run into issues caused by unnoticed configuration changes- an Atlas cluster parameter shifts, a backup schedule is altered, or an IP allowlist is updated without a clear record. These small gaps in visibility can trigger real production incidents, slow investigations, and create compliance friction.

                MongoDB is a major part of this reality. It holds roughly 46% of the NoSQL database market and consistently ranks among the top five databases on DB-Engines. With such broad adoption, Atlas configurations become a strategic asset that must be governed, tracked, and protected with the same rigor applied to application code.

                What is MongoDB Atlas IaC Automation Support?

                ControlMonkey brings full Infrastructure-as-Code automation to MongoDB Atlas: rapid import of existing resources, daily configuration backups for business continuity, cloud-to-code mapping, and policy alignment. It lets teams manage Atlas with the same discipline and repeatability they already apply to cloud and Kubernetes environments.

                Introducing MongoDB Atlas IaC Automation Support

                ControlMonkey now supports MongoDB Atlas as a 3rd party vendor, giving DevOps teams full visibility, governance, and resilience for their MongoDB clusters, projects, users, and configurations.

                Key Capabilities

                • Complete MongoDB Atlas visibility across clusters, projects, users, and access policies
                • One-click Terraform import for rapid onboarding of existing Atlas resources
                • Daily configuration backups and time machine for instant rollback and investigation, ensuring business continuity.
                • Cloud-to-code mapping for governance, accountability, and policy alignment
                • Consistent IaC workflows across MongoDB, cloud, and SaaS providers

                Benefits of Atlas IaC Automation Support

                  MongoDB Atlas Terraform and ControlMonkey – FAQ

                  It allows you to manage MongoDB Atlas resources – clusters, projects, users, access lists, backup settings, and more – using Terraform instead of manual changes.

                   IaC gives teams version control, review workflows, traceability, and a single source of truth. This reduces drift, prevents accidental changes, and improves operational stability across environments.

                  Yes. ControlMonkey automatically imports existing Atlas resources into Terraform, making it easy to onboard legacy environments without manual code writing.

                  ControlMonkey detects drift between your live Atlas configuration and Terraform code, notifies teams, and provides a clear view of what changed and when – helping prevent outages and security incidents.

                  Yes. ControlMonkey creates daily configuration snapshots of your Atlas environment configuration, enabling quick rollback, investigation, and disaster recovery for configuration-level changes.

                  Absolutely. Terraform-managed configurations make it easy to clone environments, replicate clusters, or scale Atlas deployments consistently across regions and stages.

                  ControlMonkey Adds Native Support for OPA Policies

                  Zack Bentolila

                  ControlMonkey Adds Native Support for OPA Policies

                  Many organizations have already standardized on Open Policy Agent (OPA) for enforcing cloud and infrastructure rules. ControlMonkey now supports running those same OPA Terraform Policies (Rego) directly inside your IaC governance workflows – no changes required. Bring your own policies. 

                  Introducing OPA Terraform Policy Support

                  • Use existing OPA logic: Run your current Rego policies as-is inside ControlMonkey.
                  • Keep your workflows: Reference OPA files from version control or write inline in ControlMonkey.
                  • Apply consistently: Map OPA policies to namespaces or stacks with the same enforcement levels used for Controlmonkey built-in policies.
                  • Combine sources: Use both ControlMonkey-managed policies and your own OPA rules in one place.
                  • No maintenance overhead: Keep using the OPA investment you already made – ControlMonkey handles execution and integration.

                  Why OPA Terraform Policies Matter for IaC Governance

                  This update is part of our commitment to meet customers where they are. Many large teams already maintain OPA Terraform Policies, and rewriting them isn’t practical.

                  With native OPA support, ControlMonkey runs your policies inside its own governance engine – letting you unify visibility, risk control, audit, and policy enforcement across your infrastructure, while keeping your existing toolchain.

                  Bring Your Own OPA Policies — No Rewrite Required

                  ControlMonkey now supports OPA natively. Keep your existing Rego policies, integrate them into IaC workflows, and enforce governance automatically.

                    Okta Backup & Governance with ControlMonkey

                    Aharon Twizer

                    CEO & Co-founder

                    Okta Backup & Governance with ControlMonkey

                    As identity becomes the new perimeter, organizations can’t afford to treat Okta configuration as an afterthought. With ControlMonkey’s new Okta support (Okta Terraform Integration), your identity layer now gets the same automation, visibility, and resilience as your cloud infrastructure.

                    Why Manage Okta as Code?

                    Okta configurations are as critical as your production environment. Yet they’re often changed manually – creating risk and audit blind spots. Managing Okta as code ensures:

                    • Version Control: Every user and group policy change is tracked and reviewable.
                    • Rollback Safety: Instantly restore previous states after errors or malicious activity.
                    • Governance Consistency: Apply the same compliance guardrails across identity and infrastructure.

                    Introducing Okta Support for Total Identity Control

                    ControlMonkey now supports Okta as a native infrastructure vendor,, giving DevOps and security teams a single, governed view of identity and infrastructure. Okta resources – users, groups, roles, and permissions – can now be imported, monitored, and protected automatically.

                    With this release, teams gain:

                    Okta Inventory – Understand all your user, groups, roles and identity resources.

                    IaC Blind Spots – See which Okta configurations are Terraform-managed and which are not.

                    Import to Terraform – Bring unmanaged Okta resources under IaC control.

                    Daily Okta Backup Snapshots – Automated backups of Users, roles and Okta settings.

                    Disaster Recovery – Restore any configuration with a built-in time machine.

                    Daily configuration versioning allows teams to view or restore past states, investigate access histories, and ensure compliance.

                    Okta Backup and Governance

                    Most “Okta-as-Code” approaches stop once the configuration is codified. ControlMonkey goes further – adding governance, protection, and insight on top of that code.

                    It combines Terraform and OpenTofu parity, and real-time drift detection to create a true control layer for identity management. With built-in daily backups and a “time machine,” ControlMonkey gives teams the ability not just to manage Okta as code, but to govern identity as infrastructure.

                    Okta Integration with Cloud Governance and Identity Resilience

                    Identity and infrastructure now move together. With ControlMonkey, Okta joins your unified IaC ecosystem – monitored, versioned, backed up and compliant by design.

                    You gain the visibility, rollback confidence, and governance required to secure identity at enterprise scale with Okta Integration.
