VMware Aria Guardrail is the multi-cloud governance and policy enforcement service combining policy-as-code IaC templates, preventative guardrails, continuous drift detection, and 1,200-plus security rules across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.

Top Features

Policy-as-code governance

Define desired state for cloud accounts using infrastructure-as-code templates, then enforce that state automatically across hierarchies of cloud accounts, eliminating manual drift.

1,200+ rules across 350 resources

Auto-activate over 1,200 security and compliance rules covering more than 350 resource types, monitoring AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations and reporting issues to one dashboard.

Multi-cloud landing zones

Provision compliant landing zones for AWS, Azure, and GCP automatically with predefined cost, security, and operational policies, giving developer teams compliant accounts on day zero.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported VMware Aria Guardrail experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs VMware Aria Guardrail

Aria Guardrail isn't just policy management, it's the multi-cloud governance platform combining policy-as-code, preventative guardrails, drift detection, and 1,200-plus security rules across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Shift-Left Cloud Governance: Apply preventative guardrails through IaC templates at account creation rather than after deployment, eliminating noncompliant resources before they reach production environments.

Continuous Drift Detection: Event-based detection captures configuration changes that drift from desired state in real time, with one-click remediation available for AWS and Azure to restore compliance.

Multi-Cloud Coverage: Govern AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes from one unified service with a graph-based inventory linking policy violations to resources, identities, and entitlements for full context.

Compliance Frameworks Built-In: Pre-built benchmarks include CIS, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and 20-plus frameworks, helping organizations demonstrate continuous compliance to auditors without manual evidence.

Get in touch today

Built for how modern enterprises govern public cloud and Kubernetes at scale.

Everything your business needs to govern public cloud and Kubernetes at scale, delivered in one multi-cloud governance service covering policy-as-code templates, preventative guardrails, drift detection, 1,200 rules, compliance frameworks, and unified findings dashboards.

Policy-as-Code with IaC Templates

Aria Guardrail uses infrastructure-as-code templates powered by the Idem Project to define desired state for cloud accounts, encoding cost, security, and operational policies into reusable blueprints applied to single accounts or hierarchies at scale across teams. Templates support AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, with a curated library of out-of-the-box templates for use cases including landing zone creation, IAM policies, CloudTrail, and password policies for member accounts.

Preventative & Detective Guardrails

Apply preventative policy guardrails at account creation through landing zones, ensuring new AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts inherit baseline cost, security, and operational policies without manual configuration. Detective guardrails leverage event-based detection to capture configuration drift from desired state across deployments and admin activity. Choose drift monitoring mode for visibility or auto-enforcement mode for continuous remediation, with one-click remediation for AWS and Azure.

Multi-Cloud Compliance & 1,200 Rules

Auto-activate over 1,200 security and compliance rules across more than 350 resource types in AWS, Azure, and GCP, monitoring cloud resource configurations continuously and reporting misconfigurations to a single compliance dashboard for cloud and security operations teams. Pre-built compliance frameworks include CIS Foundations, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, GDPR, HIPAA, and over 20 industry benchmarks, helping organizations demonstrate continuous compliance to auditors without manual evidence.

Cloud Inventory & Entitlements

Aria Guardrail leverages a graph-based cloud inventory powered by Aria Hub that maps relationships between cloud objects, principals, identities, and entitlements across multi-cloud environments, providing context for every policy violation finding. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management visualizes which human or machine identities have permissions to which resources, exposing risky IAM configurations, overly privileged roles, and conditional permissions that elevate risk.

Unified Findings & Cloud-Native Integration

Configuration drift, policy violations, and threats from native cloud services including Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Config, AWS Inspector, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Google Cloud Security Command Center are centralized into a single findings dashboard within Aria Guardrail, eliminating data silos. Findings include policy descriptions, remediation steps, severity scores, and framework mappings, helping cloud teams prioritize critical resources and resolve compliance issues faster.
