New: Brownfield Onboarding

Govern your existing cloud — without disrupting it.

Connect your AWS, Azure, GCP and VMware accounts. Discover what's running — cloud instances and Kubernetes clusters. Import what matters. Audit what's left. No migration. No rebuilds. No disruption to a single running workload.

Connect. Discover. Review. Import. Govern.

Nothing happens without explicit user action. You see everything before you commit to anything — every step of the way.

1

Connect

Add your accounts to a Project Group via BYOA credentials. One account per provider.

2

Discover

Run a Discovery Job. emma inventories every resource in the connected account — you see the full picture.

3

Review

Browse the complete inventory. No auto-ingest. No surprises. You decide what enters your governance perimeter.

4

Import

Selectively import resources into specific projects. Each resource maps to exactly one project. Clean, governed structure.

5

Govern

Flag new and unmapped resources with periodic re-audits. Nothing slips through the cracks.

Not another auto-sync tool.
A governance workflow you control.

Discovery-first. Selective import. Continuous audit. A governance workflow built on explicit user action — not background sync.

Selective, project-level import

Competitors auto-sync everything the moment you connect. emma runs Discovery Jobs, shows the full inventory, and lets you choose which resources to import into which projects.

"Other platforms auto-ingest everything. emma lets you decide what's governed and what isn't."

Unmapped resource flagging

emma's periodic audits answer: "What exists in my accounts that isn't mapped to any project?" This surfaces ungoverned infrastructure — not just changed infrastructure.

"Drift detection tells you what changed. Unmapped resource flagging tells you what's unmanaged."

Brownfield + greenfield together

A single Project Group holds both BYOA accounts and emma-provisioned accounts. No "phase 1 / phase 2" problem. Start with what you have, grow into emma-provisioned at your own pace.

"Your existing resources and new deployments live side by side, under the same governance model."

Non-destructive by design

Removing a BYOA connection removes resources from emma's view — but never deletes anything in your cloud. The same account can be reconnected later. Adoption risk is near-zero.

"Evaluate emma with real infrastructure, at zero risk. Connect, discover, see what you have."
From fragmented native consoles
to unified governance

Before

Existing infrastructure managed in native cloud consoles — separate per provider
Cost tracking fragmented across native provider dashboards — no unified view
No unified governance model — compliance visibility per-provider only
Orphaned and untracked resources create security blind spots and cost leaks
Adopting a new platform means rebuilding or migrating — so teams don't

After

Imported resources visible within emma projects alongside new deployments
Unified cost monitoring across imported and newly provisioned resources
Centralized governance and compliance visibility from a single platform
Periodic audits flag unmapped resources — nothing hides outside the perimeter
Full governance over existing and new resources from a single interface — value in hours, not months
Value for every role in the decision chain
CIO / CTO

No transition gap

emma governs your full cloud estate from day one. No parallel systems, no multi-quarter migration. Immediate value on existing spend.

CFO / FinOps

Govern the whole bill

Brownfield import unlocks FinOps governance over the entire cloud bill — not just new resources. The biggest savings are in existing spend.

CISO

No blind spots

Shadow infrastructure and untracked resources create security blind spots. Periodic audits surface everything outside your governed perimeter — automatically.

Platform Engineer

One interface

Import existing resources into Project Groups. Manage alongside new deployments. No fragmented tooling across providers.

What teams are saying
"
We'd evaluated three solutions. All required us to re-provision existing workloads. emma let us connect our AWS and Azure accounts, run discovery, and have everything under governance within an afternoon. The audit-first workflow is exactly what our security team needed to sign off.
VP Cloud Infrastructure · European Mid-Market SaaS
"
The unmapped resource flagging changed how our compliance team operates. We went from quarterly manual audits to continuous visibility. When a dev team spins up something outside our governed perimeter, we know within the next audit cycle — not six months later.
