What is Kloudle?

Kloudle is a Digital Assets Security Automation Platform for SREs and DevOps. When integrated with your Cloud or SaaS provider, Kloudle takes periodic security snapshots and provides complete security contextual visibility that allows you to make informed decisions about your infrastructure, the assets and their various configurations.

Kloudle collects metadata about the resources and analyzes them to identify misconfigurations and using a massive research powered knowledgebase, identifies what would go wrong if these misconfigurations were exploited and what you can do to fix them.

As part of making sure the lives of SREs and DevOps become easier, Kloudle offers the ability to create “rules” that allow a user to take automated actions against a baseline. These automated actions, which we call Security Processes, allow users to configure a series of steps that kick in when custom events occur to ensure the security of the cloud and SaaS platform being monitored.

Quay.io onboarding for Kloudle

Prerequisites

To onboard a Quay.io cloud account to Kloudle, an OAuth2 Access Token needs to be generated. This token can be generated from an Application that is created within Quay.io in any organisation.

Regardless of which organisation you create the Application in, the token that is generated will always act on behalf of the logged in user.

Steps to onboard Quay.io to Kloudle

Following are the steps to create an OAuth2 Token on Quay.io to onboard the account..

  1. Login to the Quay.io dashboard at https://quay.io/

  2. On the right side of the screen, select any organisation. Organisations have a URL of the form - https://quay.io/organization/ORGNAME

  3. If no organisations exist, create a new organisation under the “Open Source” plan for the sake of generating the token. Note the name of the organisation.
