Workflows & governance

Guardrails that run themselves.

Cloud efficiency can’t depend on heroics. CarnotCloud turns your FinOps standards into policies, workflows and pull-request checks that keep every team on track — automatically, and with the controls your security team expects.

Capabilities

What you get with Workflows & Governance

Tagging governance

Define required tags, detect violations in real time, notify owners and track compliance by team.

Policy guardrails

Policies for instance types, regions, idle resources and budgets — alert, require approval or remediate, your choice.

Cost in every pull request

Terraform, OpenTofu and Pulumi changes get a cost estimate and optimization tips as a PR comment.

Ticketing integration

Two-way Jira and ServiceNow sync, so savings work is tracked like any other engineering work.

ChatOps

Digests, alerts and approvals in Slack and Microsoft Teams, where decisions already happen.

Approval-gated actions

Opt-in remediation for safe actions — scheduling, snapshot cleanup, storage tiering — with approval and rollback.

Shift cost left

Stop waste before it ships

The cheapest saving is the one you never have to make. CarnotCloud estimates the cost of infrastructure changes in pull requests and flags policy violations before they reach production.

  • Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi and CloudFormation support
  • GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps
  • Policy checks with configurable thresholds
  • Cost deltas tied back to the team that owns the repo

An automation ladder you control

From recommend-only to hands-off — at your pace

Every workflow can run in the mode that fits your risk appetite: recommend only, approve-then-apply, or automatic within policy. Start read-only; turn on automation one policy at a time.

  • Per-policy mode: off, recommend, approve, automatic
  • Least-privilege, scoped permissions for each action
  • Complete audit log of every action and approval
  • Instant rollback for reversible actions

34% lower compute cost in one quarter

“Our engineers actually use it. Each saving lands in Jira with the exact change, the risk and the dollar impact, so it gets shipped instead of debated.”
Daniel K.Head of Platform Engineering, Healthcare technology leader

FAQ

Workflows & Governance: common questions

Do we have to enable automation?
No. CarnotCloud is read-only by default and fully valuable that way. Automation is opt-in, per policy, and only for actions you approve.
Which ticketing and chat tools do you support?
Jira Cloud and Data Center, ServiceNow, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, email and generic webhooks.
How do PR cost estimates work?
Install the GitHub or GitLab app (or a CI step). CarnotCloud parses the infrastructure-as-code diff, prices it with your actual rates and posts the estimate as a comment.
