Your expedition team, assembled
Nimbus components work together like a mountaineering expedition. Each tool has a role, from scouting the terrain to guiding the way. Together, they help you master the cloud.
Three-Plane Architecture
Nimbus separates concerns into three logical planes: Data for discovery, Intelligence for analysis, and Orchestration for workflow management.
Orchestration Plane
Manages workflow execution, tool routing, and system coordination. The control layer that connects humans, AI, and infrastructure.
Intelligence Plane
Analyzes infrastructure for security issues, generates remediation strategies, and produces IaC code. The brain of the operation.
Data Plane
Discovers cloud resources, builds dependency graphs, and maps infrastructure topology. The foundation of all analysis.
Scout
Scouting the terrain ahead
Scout surveys the landscape of your cloud infrastructure, discovering resources and building a comprehensive dependency graph. It connects to cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and maps the relationships between resources, providing the foundation for all analysis.
MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| discover | Scan cloud provider for resources |
| graph | Build dependency graph of infrastructure |
| inventory | List discovered resources with metadata |
Intelligence Plane
From security assessment to remediation planning
Sherpa
Guiding you through dangerous terrain
Like an experienced guide who knows where the crevasses hide, Sherpa evaluates your infrastructure for security issues, compliance violations, and misconfigurations. It classifies findings by severity and provides context about each issue, helping you understand what matters most.
Key capabilities:
- Security assessment and vulnerability detection
- Classification by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
- Contextual analysis with blast radius awareness
Pathfinder
Charting the safest route forward
Pathfinder takes findings from Sherpa and generates remediation strategies. It understands blast radius, prioritizes actions, and creates step-by-step plans that humans can review and approve before implementation.
Key capabilities:
- Remediation strategy generation from findings
- Blast radius analysis and impact assessment
- Step-by-step implementation plans for human review
Navigator
Plotting the course for every expedition
Navigator is the MCP gateway that connects Nimbus to AI assistants like Claude. It provides a unified tool surface for infrastructure operations, managing sessions and orchestrating the flow of information between components.
Role in the Pipeline
Navigator serves as the MCP gateway, providing a unified tool surface that AI assistants like Claude can use to interact with your infrastructure. It manages session state, routes tool calls to the appropriate Nimbus components, and orchestrates the flow of information.
In the enterprise edition, Navigator is extended by additional orchestration components:
- Ranger - Continuous monitoring and drift detection
- Sentinel - Compliance validation and policy enforcement
- Beacon - Alerting and notification routing
Enterprise Components
Advanced capabilities for production environments and complex organizations
Trailblazer
ProCutting the path to production
Trailblazer generates Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) from approved remediation plans. It cuts through complexity to produce production-ready code that implements fixes while respecting existing patterns and conventions.
Ranger
ProPatrolling the perimeter
Ranger continuously patrols your infrastructure for drift from desired state, new security findings, and configuration changes. It alerts on deviations and feeds fresh data back into the Nimbus pipeline.
Sentinel
ProStanding watch over compliance
Sentinel validates your infrastructure against compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CIS Benchmarks) and custom policies. It generates audit reports and ensures ongoing compliance with organizational standards.
Beacon
ProSignal fire on the ridge
Beacon routes alerts and notifications to the right teams through the right channels (Slack, PagerDuty, email). It understands severity, context, and on-call schedules to ensure critical issues get immediate attention.
Atlas
Coming SoonMapping the whole mountain range
Atlas (coming soon) creates visual topology maps of your multi-cloud infrastructure, showing resource relationships, data flows, and blast radius boundaries. It helps teams understand complex systems at a glance.
Basecamp
Coming SoonWhere the team regroups
Basecamp (coming soon) provides a collaborative workspace where the team regroups to review findings, discuss remediation strategies, and track infrastructure initiatives. It brings context and conversation together in one place.

ProHuman-in-the-Loop Checkpoint
Nimbus never makes infrastructure changes without human approval. The human review checkpoint in the pipeline ensures that all remediation plans are reviewed, understood, and explicitly approved before any code is generated or changes are applied. This keeps you in control while leveraging AI to accelerate the work.
