Guardrails augments native ServiceNow cloud discovery with broader coverage, real-time updates, and no additional licensing.
| Feature | Native ServiceNow | Turbot Guardrails |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Services | Requires additional licensing | No extra licensing required |
| Resource Coverage | Limited to core IaaS services | 750+ services across AWS, Azure, GCP, K8s |
| Relationship Data | Minimal relationship coverage | Relationships for all resource types |
| Updates | Scheduled batch jobs | Real-time discovery and updates |
| Customization | Requires professional services | Flexible, point-and-click setup |
| Business Context | Manual mappings | Automatic mappings to apps, cost centers |
| Management | Managed separately per platform | Centralized multi-cloud management |
ServiceNow Integration capabilities:
Real-Time Cloud Discovery to CMDB
Automatically discover cloud resources and sync them to your ServiceNow CMDB in real-time. No more scheduled batch jobs with stale data - when cloud resources change, your CMDB updates instantly.
750+ cloud resource types out of the box across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. Direct sync to CI tables or via Import Sets.
Eliminate CMDB Blindspots
Cloud resources change faster than legacy discovery can keep up. Manual and scheduled scans leave gaps - resources get created, modified, or deleted between scans, leaving your CMDB with incorrect data.
Guardrails captures every change as it happens. Deleted resources can be archived to retain historical records or removed completely.
Resource Relationships
Automatically create and maintain relationships between cloud resources in your CMDB. EC2 instances and their key pairs, storage accounts and queues, VPCs and subnets - relationships that matter for impact analysis and change management.
Standard ServiceNow relationship types (Uses, Contains, Provides) map naturally to cloud resource dependencies.
Enrich Cloud Policies with Business Context
Sync any ServiceNow table to Guardrails - Applications, Cost Centers, Business Services, or custom tables. Use this context to drive cloud policies: auto-tag resources with ownership, enforce controls based on data classification, restrict access by department.
When ServiceNow data changes, cloud resources update automatically.
Flexible Data Mapping
Map cloud resource data to any CMDB CI table - standard or custom. Control exactly which fields sync, add custom columns for tags or metadata, and filter which records to include.
Point-and-click configuration, no professional services required.
