Fictional preview available
Agree expected settings for selected Azure and AWS resources. Review deviations and changes with evidence, owners and internal dates.

Record declared versions and compare supported scopes with reviewed vendor schedules. Keep source dates and follow-up work together.

FROM EVIDENCE TO FOLLOW-THROUGH
A notice, a version warning or a changed setting still needs a decision. Confirm the scope, agree who owns it and keep the evidence for the next reviewer.
Arctic Parade connects that work across your estates. A passing observation does not silently close a task, and accepting a risk does not erase the technical warning.
Follow the product workflow →A REVIEW YOUR TEAM CAN PICK UP
Start with an inventory, a declared version or a fictional cloud scenario. See what the evidence covers and what is missing.
Assign an owner and internal date. Record the decision and what will demonstrate completion.
Produce an estate report. Paid teams can coordinate campaigns, approve review packs and prepare ticket handoffs.
WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR EXISTING TOOLS
Continue using Azure Advisor, vendor notifications and your service desk. Arctic Parade keeps their review context beside ownership, internal dates and completion evidence.

Catalogue matches are review candidates. Coverage is not exhaustive; no matches is not an all-clear.
BEFORE YOU START
Create a free workspace, explore fictional estates or import a small anonymised CSV. Review retirement candidates, declare API/runtime versions, assign owners and prepare an estate report. Fictional configuration and AWS Health scenarios need no cloud credentials.
Selected configuration checks, reviewed lifecycle rules and AWS Health notice matching are implemented in preview. Live Azure and AWS configuration collection is disabled pending authorised account validation. Coverage and permission requirements differ by provider.
Advisor supplies Microsoft recommendations. Arctic Parade adds a shared review process across estates: evidence, decisions, owners, internal dates, campaigns and reports. Keep the original vendor notifications in place.
No. Cloud adapters request read-only inventory or metadata. Your team reviews findings and carries out changes through its existing change process. Customer communications are drafts and are not sent automatically.
Yes. Workspace roles apply across its estates. There are no customer-specific member restrictions or external customer approval portal in this release.
START WITH ONE USEFUL REVIEW
Try a fictional estate, review its evidence and prepare a report. No card or cloud connection needed.
