What is Cloud Custodian?

Cloud Custodian offers users the ability to manage cloud assets effectively through a combination of filtering, tagging, and executing a range of actions. By employing a YAML-based domain-specific language, it facilitates the development of rules designed to uphold a cloud infrastructure that is both secure and cost-effective. This tool simplifies the management process by replacing intricate cloud-specific scripts with a more user-friendly syntax, ensuring that policies are consistently enforced throughout the infrastructure. It supports major public cloud services, including AWS, Azure, and GCP, and is currently beta-testing compatibility with Kubernetes, Tencent Cloud, and OpenStack. The platform enhances security by integrating directly with the control plane of various cloud providers, allowing for immediate resolution of potential problems. Additionally, it provides robust metrics and reporting features that empower users to schedule resource shutdowns during low-demand periods to reduce costs. The tool also aids in identifying and eliminating unused resources by examining utilization statistics, while its tagging functionality simplifies the oversight of underutilized assets. Moreover, Cloud Custodian can be deployed in multiple environments, whether executed locally, on an instance, or in a serverless architecture via AWS Lambda, which adds a layer of flexibility to its application. This adaptability not only optimizes resource management but also makes Cloud Custodian an essential asset for organizations striving to enhance their cloud operations. Ultimately, its comprehensive approach to cloud management contributes significantly to the overall efficiency and security of cloud resources.
