What is Stacklet and how does it function? Stacklet is a cloud governance platform for commercial use that aids Global 2000 companies in managing their cloud-related security, operations, visibility, and cost optimization policies. Stacklet is developed based on the open source project Cloud Custodian, with an open core model. The creators of Cloud Custodian are also the founders of Stacklet. Stacklet offers operational guidance for Cloud Custodian, access to pre-designed policies, and plans to provide a fully hosted version of Cloud Custodian in the future. Additionally, Stacklet aims to “shift-left” the open source core, enabling developers to assess both application and infrastructure code against their organization’s governance standards early on in the development process to establish preventative control.
