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)

          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

              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 hosts mission-critical workloads. ControlMonkey ensures your Atlas deployment stays stable, compliant, and resilient:

              • Scale multi-region or cloning workflows with confidence.
              • Enhance visibility across every MongoDB Atlas component
              • Reduce risk from accidental deletion, changes, misconfigurations, or malicious updates
              • Strengthen infrastructure governance with Terraform-aligned workflows
              • Protect availability with configuration backups and reliable rollbacks

                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

                Zack Bentolila

                Marketing Director

                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.

                icon

                  Okta Backup & Governance with ControlMonkey

                  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.

                    VMware Terraform Integration: Unified IaC for Hybrid Cloud

                    VMware Terraform Integration: Unified IaC for Hybrid Cloud

                    Enterprises still rely on VMware for core workloads but typically manage it outside their Terraform workflows. The result is inconsistent governance, limited version control, and higher risk of configuration drift. ControlMonkey’s new VMware Terraform Integration eliminates that gap. 

                    Cloud and on-prem infrastructure share one control dashboard, one audit trail, and one set of guardrails for Hybrid Cloud. VMware is now managed through the same Terraform workflows already used for cloud.

                    Introducing VMware Terraform Integration

                    ControlMonkey turns VMware into code. ControlMonkey automatically generates Terraform code for VMware resources and brings them into a unified IaC lifecycle. Every VM, load balancer, and network resource becomes part of your Terraform/OpenTofu automation – governed, backed up, and versioned.

                    • IaC for VMware. Auto-generate Terraform code for VMware resources to manage on-prem like cloud.
                    • Unified governance. Apply the same guardrails and approval flows across hybrid environments.
                    • Daily backups. Protect VMware with automated IaC snapshots for instant rollback and recovery.
                    • Drift detection. Identify and fix out-of-band changes in VMware just like in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
                    • Migration support. Maintain full visibility as workloads move between VMware and cloud.

                    Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Through One IaC Platform

                    Unlike other industry solutions that focus only on cloud or policy orchestration, ControlMonkey extends full IaC automation including code generation, drift detection, and Cloud backup – to VMware itself. This unified model gives enterprises the same Terraform-driven governance for on-prem as they already have in the cloud.

                    ControlMonkey’s VMware integration removes the operational divide between Terraform-managed cloud and VMware environments. Security, compliance, and recovery standards are now applied consistently across VMware and cloud. DevOps teams gain control and repeatability, while risk and compliance teams gain one verifiable audit trail.
