Governance and risk management
You can set policies for applications, security, and infrastructure to maintain enforceable 
governance and compliance across all your clouds. You also can view and manage policy 
violations and security risks raised against clusters, which can be categorized by severity. 
Customizable views are also available so that you can see only the information that is relevant 
to your own clusters.

You can dynamically monitor and resolve problems by using opens source tools, such as 
Grafana, Prometheusm, and ELK stack. Predictive alert systems can be set up, including 
automatic backup and Disaster Recovery options and workload transfers.
