VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds

VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds is the renamed successor to CloudHealth Secure State. It focuses on maintaining cloud security posture, compliance, and contextual visibility across public cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

The platform builds an inventory of cloud resources and relationships, evaluates configurations against security and compliance rules, and helps teams prioritize risky misconfigurations. Its value comes from showing how cloud resources relate to each other, not just listing individual failed checks.

Operationally, teams use the platform to track posture drift, coordinate remediation, and monitor compliance across large cloud estates. The key implementation challenge is maintaining account coverage, role permissions, and remediation ownership as cloud environments change.

This entry reflects the product rename from CloudHealth Secure State to VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds, rather than a separate product.
