How is CoreStack different from cloud-native management tools?
CoreStack provides unique value compared to the cloud management portals and consoles offered by the individual cloud providers, whose tools are often limited in functionality and are specific to their respective cloud technology. CoreStack offers a comprehensive, multi-cloud governance platform that brings all your cloud resources together, then amplifies native capabilities with powerful integrations, customization, and workflows. As a result, CoreStack enhances and extends the capabilities of cloud-native management tooling, filling feature gaps across FinOps, SecOps, and CloudOps:
- Get a single-pane view of all resource inventory from all accounts across multiple cloud platforms
- Uncover cost-saving recommendations across more types of cloud resources
- Enable centralized tagging governance with remediation
- Define policies to create custom guardrails
- Define policies to create custom guardrails
- Assess compliance against industry standards and custom frameworks
- Centralize and automate monitoring, backups, patching, and security posture management
- Integrate with ITSM tools to automate incident ticketing and notification workflows
By harnessing these capabilities, CoreStack Governance can help you mitigate risk, accelerate delivery, experiment more, optimize performance, and innovate rather than just improve.
