Knowledge Tree

Who it is for

Platform, SRE, and infrastructure teams with non-trivial cloud or Kubernetes footprints that have outgrown manual inventories and wikis.

Primary Audiences

SRE and DevOps Teams

If you manage production infrastructure across multiple clouds or clusters, Knowledge Tree gives you a live map of what exists and how it connects. Use it for incident response (trace blast radius), onboarding (auto-generated runbooks), and change detection (diff every discovery cycle).

  • Query blast radius with graph traversal: "What depends on this RDS instance?"
  • Generate operational runbooks with real CLI commands and thresholds
  • Track configuration drift between discovery runs

Platform Engineers

Building an internal developer platform? Knowledge Tree provides the infrastructure catalog and dependency graph that platform teams need. Expose it through the MCP server so AI coding agents can understand your infrastructure.

  • Provide a self-service catalog of all services and their dependencies
  • Let AI agents query infrastructure context via the MCP protocol
  • Enforce tagging governance and compliance policies

Security and Compliance Teams

Knowledge Tree evaluates every discovered resource against built-in compliance rules covering encryption, public exposure, access controls, backup retention, and tagging. Get a compliance score (0-100) with specific findings and remediation steps.

  • Detect unencrypted volumes, publicly accessible databases, open security groups
  • Track tagging compliance across all cloud providers
  • Generate audit-ready compliance reports

FinOps Teams

The cost intelligence API estimates monthly and annual spend for every discovered resource, broken down by provider, category (compute, database, networking, storage), and resource type. Identify idle resources and optimization opportunities.

  • Estimate infrastructure spend without connecting billing APIs
  • Break down costs by provider, category, and resource type
  • Detect idle resources flagged by compliance rules

When to Use Knowledge Tree

Knowledge Tree is a good fit when you:

  • Run infrastructure across multiple cloud accounts or subscriptions
  • Have more than 50 resources that engineers need to understand
  • Spend significant time maintaining infrastructure documentation
  • Need to answer "what depends on X?" during incidents
  • Want AI agents to have context about your infrastructure
  • Need compliance visibility without a dedicated CSPM tool
