Git-Ape for Executives
TL;DR — Git-Ape gives you automated compliance, cost visibility, and security enforcement for every Azure deployment — without slowing down your engineering teams.
Why It Matters​
Every Azure deployment your teams make goes through a blocking security gate — no exceptions, no shortcuts. Git-Ape enforces security best practices, estimates costs before spending, and generates compliance reports automatically.
Compliance Without Friction​
- Azure Policy assessment against CIS, NIST, and custom frameworks
- Security gate blocks deployments until all Critical and High severity checks pass
- Audit trail — every deployment decision is committed to your repository as code
- WAF 5-pillar scoring for Security, Reliability, Performance, Cost, and Operational Excellence
Cost Governance​
- Pre-deployment cost estimation using Azure Retail Prices API
- Per-resource cost breakdown with monthly totals
- No more discovering unexpected charges after the fact
Risk Reduction​
- Managed identities only — no connection strings or shared keys
- Least-privilege RBAC enforced via automated role selection
- Drift detection identifies unauthorized manual changes to deployed resources
- OIDC authentication — no stored secrets in CI/CD pipelines
