Cloudaware background

Cloudaware LLC was founded in 2011. It provides a software-defined, ITIL-based framework for managing infrastructure across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments.

The platform is built around a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) that discovers and normalizes infrastructure data, tracks configuration changes, and maps relationships between assets, applications, environments, owners, and dependencies.

Cloudaware uses this shared CMDB data to support FinOps, Vulnerability Management, CSPM, SIEM, IT Compliance, Intrusion Detection, and other IT operations workflows.

Its CMDB-first approach connects information that would otherwise remain scattered across cloud consoles, vulnerability scanners, billing systems, monitoring platforms, and service management tools.

For example, a security team can relate a vulnerability finding to the affected asset, application, and responsible owner. A FinOps team can connect cloud spending to resource attributes, cost centers, and application dependencies. A compliance team can evaluate configuration policies against the infrastructure belonging to a particular application.

Cloudaware supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and supported hybrid environments. Its integration framework connects additional infrastructure, security, financial, monitoring, and operational data sources.

The platform is available through Cloudaware-native and Salesforce-based CMDB deployment models, depending on customer requirements.

Cloudaware MCP Server for AI assistants

Cloudaware provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects compatible AI assistants to infrastructure data collected in the Cloudaware CMDB.

The Cloudaware MCP Server provides a secure AI data layer over the CMDB and a configured Google BigQuery Export Project.

It allows engineers, security teams, FinOps practitioners, and other authorized users to query their infrastructure through compatible AI tools without manually collecting records from individual cloud accounts for every question.

The MCP interface uses already collected and exported CMDB data. It does not require the AI assistant to contact hundreds of AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, or other cloud environments individually to answer each query.

MCP Documentation: Cloudaware MCP Server Overview
Configuration: Cloudaware MCP Server Configuration

How Cloudaware MCP works

Cloudaware MCP exposes a structured CMDB data model and controlled query capabilities to compatible AI assistants.

The typical workflow follows five steps:

Discover object types. The AI assistant uses search_types to find relevant CMDB objects such as compute instances, cloud accounts, storage volumes, or vulnerability records.
Inspect fields and relationships. The assistant uses search_fields and get_relationship_graph to understand the available attributes, data types, and connections between objects.
Construct queries. Using the discovered schema, the assistant generates SQL queries that reference the available CMDB data.
Execute queries. The MCP server uses execute_query to run permitted SQL queries against the configured Google BigQuery Export Project.
Interpret results. The connected AI assistant analyzes the returned data and can produce resource inventories, cost reports, vulnerability coverage summaries, dependency explanations, or other analytical outputs.

Cloudaware supplies the data, metadata, and relationship model. The connected AI model performs the reasoning and generates the response.

The quality and freshness of the results depend on the connected sources, data collection and export schedules, permissions, and the AI model's interpretation.

Cloudaware MCP use cases

Cloudaware has published demonstrations showing how its MCP interface supports DevOps, SecOps, FinOps, cloud governance, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and compliance workflows.

The following examples are drawn from recorded demonstrations using Cloudaware CMDB data.

DevOps: Identify operating systems past end of support

Example prompt: "List the unique operating systems in use across all our cloud providers that are past end of support."

Large organizations may operate thousands of instances across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, and other environments. Identifying unsupported operating systems requires information from both infrastructure inventory and operating system data sources.

Cloudaware combines cloud API inventory with operating system information collected through available vulnerability scanners, configuration management tools such as Chef, Puppet, and Ansible, and supported agents.

The MCP interface enables an AI assistant to analyze the available operating system records across connected environments.

In the published demonstration, the query completed in approximately 3 minutes and 38 seconds.

Result: A cross-cloud view of operating systems requiring end-of-support investigation without manually searching each cloud account.

Watch the Cloudaware DevOps MCP demo

SecOps: Analyze vulnerability scan coverage

Example prompt: "Give me vulnerability scan coverage across all compute instances in AWS, Azure, and vCenter. Break down coverage by scanner and identify gaps."

Organizations using multiple cloud providers and vulnerability scanners can struggle to determine which assets have current scanning data and which have missing or outdated coverage.

Cloudaware correlates compute inventory with available findings and records from connected vulnerability scanning systems.

Through MCP, an AI assistant can investigate:

Compute assets with and without scanning records
Coverage across cloud providers and on-premises environments
Coverage by individual vulnerability scanner
Overlapping scanner coverage
Missing or outdated scan results

One published demonstration used an environment containing 657 AWS accounts, 98 Azure subscriptions, and six vCenter data centers.

The first scan coverage query completed in approximately 68 seconds.

The demonstration also identified historical Rapid7 results, illustrating why the presence of old scan records should not automatically be treated as current coverage.

Result: A cross-environment view of vulnerability scan coverage and gaps using existing CMDB inventory and scanner data.

Watch the Cloudaware SecOps MCP demo

FinOps: Investigate cloud spending and cost allocation gaps

Example prompt: "Show me the monthly cost of EC2 compute instances missing a corporate cost-center tag, broken down by account and sorted by spend."

Cloud billing reports show charges, but analyzing the business context of spending often requires additional information about resource configuration, tags, applications, and ownership.

Cloudaware combines available billing and usage data with CMDB resource attributes.

Through MCP, FinOps teams can investigate:

Cloud resources with incomplete or inconsistent cost-center tagging
Unattached EBS volumes and potentially orphaned snapshots
Savings Plans and Reserved Instance utilization
Month-over-month cost increases
Long-running workloads and commitment planning
Resource spending by application, environment, or cost center

In a recorded Cloudaware demonstration, the assistant identified approximately 638 EC2 instances associated with $31,000 in monthly spending under the selected tagging criteria.

The presenter noted that stopped instances should be filtered or assessed separately before treating the result as an actionable cost optimization report.

Another demonstration query used CMDB history to examine how long EBS volumes had remained unattached, rather than relying on their current attachment status alone.

Result: Cloud cost analysis enriched with resource configuration, history, relationships, and available allocation information.

Watch the Cloudaware FinOps MCP demo

Cloud Governance: Review storage encryption coverage

Example prompt: "What percentage of our storage resources is encrypted across cloud providers and services? Break down the results by provider, service, and encryption type."

Organizations managing hundreds of cloud accounts need a consistent method to review encryption settings across different storage services.

Cloudaware maintains supported storage resource configurations in its CMDB.

Through MCP, an AI assistant can query the available configuration attributes, organize storage resources by provider and service, and report encryption status.

The published demonstration evaluated storage encryption properties across AWS and Google Cloud resources.

Result: A consolidated storage encryption assessment using previously collected configuration information.

Coverage is limited to supported resources and the encryption attributes available in the connected CMDB.

Watch the Cloudaware Governance MCP demo

SRE: Trace network connectivity across infrastructure

Example prompt: "Trace how this AWS instance reaches the internet. Identify the relevant gateway and matching routing rules."

Troubleshooting connectivity in multi-account AWS environments often requires engineers to investigate several VPCs, route tables, gateways, and network configurations.

Cloudaware maintains supported infrastructure relationships in its CMDB.

Through MCP, an AI assistant can query these relationships to investigate the network path associated with a selected instance.

In the recorded demonstration, the assistant identified the NAT gateway and matching route involved in an instance's internet access.

A follow-up query examined whether the instance had outbound SSH access on port 22 to internet destinations.

Result: A network connectivity explanation using existing configuration records and relationships, reducing the need to manually navigate multiple cloud consoles during initial investigation.

Current network configurations should still be verified before making production changes.

Watch the Cloudaware SRE MCP demo

Compliance: Assess application-scoped security controls

Example prompt: "Evaluate the keys and credentials associated with this application against relevant SOC 2 security criteria."

A common difficulty in compliance assessments is defining which infrastructure resources belong to an application.

Cloudaware can map supported configuration items, credentials, IAM objects, and other infrastructure records to applications.

An AI assistant connected through MCP can use the available application mappings to identify objects within a defined scope and analyze their configuration attributes against specified technical criteria.

The published demonstration used a sample application and evaluated its key and credential configurations against SOC 2-related requirements.

Result: An application-scoped technical assessment based on available CMDB records and defined control criteria.

AI-generated compliance findings should be reviewed against the applicable requirements and underlying evidence. Such an assessment does not replace a formal SOC 2 audit or establish certification.

Product capabilities and operational boundaries

When evaluating Cloudaware, the following distinctions are important:

Infrastructure coverage depends on supported provider objects, APIs, collection methods, and connected systems. Support for a cloud provider does not imply identical coverage of every service or resource type.
Data freshness varies by collection schedule, integration, and deployment model. Do not assume that every CMDB record is updated in real time.
Vulnerability findings can originate from Cloudaware-native capabilities or connected third-party scanners. The source of a specific finding should be identified when relevant.
Cloudaware supports security and compliance policy assessments, evidence collection, reporting, and workflow coordination. These capabilities do not independently establish formal regulatory certification.
Cloudaware helps identify responsible owners, enrich findings, route operational work, and track remediation. Corrective execution depends on the responsible team or separately configured downstream automation.
MCP access is read-only and operates within authenticated permissions. It does not independently authorize changes to cloud infrastructure.
AI-generated analysis should be verified against the underlying data before making security, compliance, financial, or production infrastructure decisions.
