React to important changes

Cloud environments experience many changes every day. Getting stuck in tons of approval requests for minor changes is unproductive. Cloudaware streamlines change management by pre-approving specific changes to keep it simple and agile. Using Cloudaware approval workflows, initiate business processes to address only changes you need to act on.

  • Approve changes for a specific time period
  • Route approval requests to designated approvers based on account id, user group, etc
  • Handle change events using email, Slack, Jira, ServiceNow CMDB, PagerDuty, etc

Control configuration drift

As companies evolve, their IT configurations become more complicated. With time, due to infrastructure and staff turnover, it becomes increasingly more difficult to understand why certain configurations are in place. Using Cloudaware approval processes, IT managers can create audit records and configuration baselines to limit configuration drift and increase operational excellence.

  • Increase transparency of what changed, when and by whom
  • Document changes for internal review and cleanup
  • Demonstrate the evidence that the change review process is in place to auditors
