Cloud Custodian, the open source stateless policy engine for cloud governance, is celebrating its 10th anniversary as a CNCF incubating project. Originally built to manage public cloud environments via a unified DSL, it now positions itself as a critical safety layer for the agentic AI era — enforcing security, compliance, and cost policies on AI-generated infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Key capabilities include automated guardrails for GPU fleets and model serving endpoints, real-time enforcement of organizational policies, and vendor-neutral multi-cloud support.
