Making Guardrails easier: 33 new step-by-step Guides
Master Turbot Guardrails with new Guides that step through installation, configuration and monitoring of your Turbot Guardrails governance platform.
It's never been easier to operationalize and optimize Guardrails. During Launch Week 5 we introduced the Guardrails Hub with over 140 policy packs. Over the last few months we have simplified and reorganized our documentation and published it into a public GitHub repo. We hope this encourages the community to improve and expand the documentation.
Today, we announce the release of 33 new step-by-step guides for Guardrails admins, focused on simplifying the installation, configuration, and monitoring of your Guardrails environment.
New and improved Guardrails Guides
Just as Guardrails Policy Packs simplified policy configurations for compliance and security, Guides simplify the day-to-day operations of managing Guardrails to govern your cloud environments. The Guides provide detailed steps, actionable instructions, and real-world examples to help you succeed in your cloud governance journey. Each Guide walks you through a single task (e.g. importing an AWS account, installing a mod, or troubleshooting event handlers).
