  • Automated compliance checking through analysis of cloud infrastructure templates
    Patent number: 10255370
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a state of an information technology (IT) environment are disclosed. A server accesses an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) template for the IT environment, where the IT environment is virtualized and cloud-based. The server deconstructs, using a parser for the IaC template, the IaC template to a graph database representation of the IT environment, wherein the graph database representation implements a predefined cloud resource ontology (CRO). The server determines, using the graph database representation, the state of the IT environment. The server provides, as a digital transmission, an output corresponding to the determined state of the IT environment.
