Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Crush
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Crush exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every AWS (local CLI) call from Crush passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Crush as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Crush yet, so control happens at the gateway.
