Selefra is an open-source policy-as-code tool for analyzing multi-cloud and SaaS environments, offering insights into security, cost, and architecture. It targets cloud engineers and DevOps professionals seeking unified visibility and automated compliance across diverse platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, GitHub, and Slack. The key benefit is leveraging natural language queries powered by OpenAI for infrastructure analysis.

How It Works

Selefra integrates with various cloud and SaaS providers to collect configuration data, which can then be queried using a SQL-like language. Custom analysis policies are defined using a combination of SQL and YAML. The platform's unique selling proposition is its integration with OpenAI's GPT models, enabling users to ask questions about their infrastructure in natural language and receive actionable suggestions for security, cost optimization, and architectural improvements.
