Cloud Custodian vs OmniGCloud

Cloud Custodian manages cloud resources through policies written in YAML. Each policy names a resource type, filters for selecting resources, and actions to apply to matches. It supports security policy enforcement, compliance, tag policies, cleanup of unused resources, and cost management for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform resources. Policies can respond to provider events through serverless features or run on a cron schedule. Users can validate policies and preview matching resources in dry-run mode before actions execute. Runs can produce policy metrics, structured resource records, and logs for cloud metrics, storage, and logging services. Documented event connections include AWS CloudWatch Events and Config Rules, Azure EventGrid, and GCP AuditLog and Pub/Sub. Installation is documented for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with Docker and Kubernetes operation also described. Kubernetes, Tencent Cloud, and OpenStack support are in beta; Terraform integration is in alpha. Cloud Custodian is free at free and open source under Apache 2.0. An AWS constraint is that event-triggered policies run only in the same region and account, while periodic policies may run elsewhere.

OmniGCloud is a multi-cloud control plane for governance, FinOps, deployment, and automated compliance. It brings infrastructure evidence together for discovery, cost comparison, optimization, and migration planning across sources such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloudflare Edge, and sovereign environments. Governance features include monitoring, executive summaries, cost and anomaly views, compliance and risk visibility, approvals, action journals, and ledger-backed deployments. Named integrations and workflows include GitHub, Spark, Kafka, F5 BIG-IP, VMware AVI/NSX, Envoy, and Terraform-related tools. Developers have access to a CLI, REST API, OpenAPI specification, and SDKs. The trust page describes capability-based access controls, scoped sessions, audit trails, encryption in transit by default, and configurable storage posture. It says data residency is handled per enterprise rollout and that the company makes no unsupported certification claims. Deployment choices vary by edition and include SaaS, private tenant, dedicated, private-cloud, sovereign, offline, air-gapped, and partner-managed options. The free plan costs nothing and is limited to one connector and a single SaaS workspace. Team costs $39/ seat / mo, billed annually; higher tiers offer more connectors and deployment choices.
