Commercial Pattern
Cloud Platform Conformance
Continuously verify that cloud services meet declared reliability and governance standards.
This commercial pattern turns cloud platform knowledge into structural conformance checks across services and resources.
Commercial pattern snapshot
- Structural verification
- Continuous platform trust
- Invariant enforcement
The problem
Cloud services are provisioned correctly — until they aren't.
Replication is disabled. Logging is removed. Auto-scaling is misconfigured. Multi-AZ redundancy disappears.
These shifts often go unnoticed.
The Opscotch approach
Codify platform-level conformance rules that:
- Query cloud provider APIs
- Enumerate resources
- Assert structural criteria
- Detect drift from declared standards
The workflow continuously validates structural integrity.
Cloud reliability standards become continuously enforced rather than documented.
Prove that cloud services meet declared operational criteria.
About commercial patterns
Commercial Patterns show how to turn automation logic into licensed, deployable products. They are not prebuilt solutions - they are implementation blueprints. Opscotch provides the runtime, packaging, and commercial enforcement layer. You build the product.
Where this creates leverage
Structural verification
Ensure replication, scaling, logging, and resilience configurations remain intact.
Continuous platform trust
Validate cloud service posture without manual audits.
Invariant enforcement
Codify what must always be true about your cloud estate.
Why sell this as a product?
- Increase trust in cloud posture
- Detect reliability regressions
- Demonstrate operational rigor
- Codify platform standards
What you implement
- Cloud resource enumeration
- Service configuration extraction
- Structural rule definitions
- Drift detection logic
How the workflow operates
Cloud APIs
Config attributes
Declared standards

Why This Is a Pattern, Not a Package
This pattern is intentionally not prebuilt.
Cloud architectures differ widely by provider, service mix, and resilience philosophy.
There is no universal conformance template.
Opscotch provides the verification runtime. You define what conformance means for your environment.
