FAQ
How many cloud accounts, secrets, and users can mierabella manage?
mierabella can easily scale up to tens of thousands of secrets and hundreds of users.
Will mierabella impact my AWS bills?
mierabella uses CloudTrail to identify changes related to AWS Secrets and AWS Parameter Store. If you have CloudTrail in place already, then there will be no change. If CloudTrail is enabled as part of the installation process, then there will be a cost increase.
Why is mierabella only available as a SaaS solution?
While the original; intention was to implement mierabella as a self-hosted solution, the complexities of doing so turned out to be prohibitive. Implementing the technology is complex and maintaining an up-to-date codebase that is distributed across multiple customers is expensive.
For now, a SaaS-based solution is the only viable option.
Is mierabella a password manager or secrets vault?
No, mierabella doesn’t store any secrets/password, it wraps the existing cloud services in a layer of access control, content policies, governance, and user interface.
mierabella is designed to ensure you can continue using the cloud services such as AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Vault while also improving the capabilities of those services.
Is mierabella the same as a privileged access management (PAM)?
No, a PAM provides a layer of protection between users and systems that require privileged access to a resource.
While a PAM can be used to control access to resources such as Amazon Web Services Secrets, Parameter store or Azure key Vaults, it is not focused on the way that data is accessed or what that data is.
mierabella is content aware and provides a user interface that assists users in editing that content. In addition to ensuring content aligns with policies, mierabella provides additional controls on top of those provided by native services. mierabella also provides auditing and governance capability to ensure that secrets in cloud accounts align with expectations and policies.
