Control Cloud in 60 seconds: one live map of your clouds, checked before terraform plan

How many consoles do you open to know what is actually running right now? Three clouds, an on-prem rack, and the Terraform state that was true last Tuesday.

Control Cloud reads your clouds through the provider API with read-only credentials and draws everything as one live topology. No agents on your cloud VMs, no state file to trust. This is the product, recorded on a demo organization, no mock-ups.

Watch the 60-second video

See what is running, what is stopped, and what is costing you for nothing

Live Azure topology in Control Cloud: the orphaned public IP is flagged in orange

Every resource group, VM, cluster, subnet and disk, with its live state. The public IP in orange is orphaned: the VM behind it is gone, the IP still bills. You see it on the map; you do not find it on the invoice.

Design on the canvas, get told immediately when it is wrong

Sketching a VM on the canvas: it fails validation the moment it lands, no network attached

Drop a VM on the canvas, give it a name, sketch it. It is checked against the live state the moment it lands: this one has no network attached. Fix it there, then generate the Terraform for it into your own repo. Nothing is created in the cloud until you apply.

Pre-flight: find the missing subnet before the deploy, not after

Pre-flight on an OCI tenancy: 24 checks, 1 blocking issue, 4 warnings

Pick what you are about to deploy, run the checks against the tenancy as it is right now. 24 checks, 1 blocking issue, 4 warnings: no public subnet, no Internet Gateway, no NAT. The kind of thing terraform plan is happy to let through because it is not in the state.

Try it

Free plan: 1 operator, 1 provider, no card. Public clouds and on-prem on one surface, read-only API access.

If you run more than one cloud: what do you check before terraform apply today? I answer every comment.
