CloudBolt also lists custom billing, paid support packages and professional services.

emma Governance embeds policy controls and audit trails into cloud, Kubernetes and on-premises operations. A project can specify permitted clouds, regions and environments, then attach policies, budgets and security rules. Checks can run during interface provisioning, API calls, infrastructure-as-code work and CI/CD, with non-compliant deployments blocked. The governance model spans cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters and namespaces, private clouds and on-premises systems. Projects can restrict residency to selected countries, regions or providers, with requirements enforced during deployment. Roles include operator, owner and auditor, and high-risk actions can be reserved for chosen people or groups. Logs capture who made a deployment or change, where and when; evidence can be exported by project, business unit or jurisdiction. Listed integrations include API, Terraform, Backstage, Jenkins and GitLab.
