Aviatrix CoPilot

New and Enhanced Features in 4.38.0 commercial

Summary

Aviatrix CoPilot is a commercial network-defense console, run as part of the Aviatrix cloud networking platform, that gives operators visibility into and control over multicloud transit infrastructure. It surfaces routing across transit gateways, clouds, and on-prem Site2Cloud connections, shows egress security scores and intrusion logs for the Distributed Cloud Firewall, and flags missing IAMIAMIdentity and Access Management — a framework of policies and services for controlling who can authenticate to systems and what resources they are authorized to use, letting cyber tools enforce least-privilege and audit access. permissions on serverless workloads, alongside notifications and table views built for day-to-day operational triage. This puts it in the hands of cloud network and security operations teams running Aviatrix infrastructure rather than application developers or auditors. It sits in the network-defense category, covering the monitoring and policy-enforcement work that multicloud operators would otherwise piece together from separate cloud-native consoles. Launched in 2020 and still shipping actively, with 45 tracked releases and its latest only 23 days old, it is under continued development.

How Aviatrix CoPilot helps

Which VPCs and VNets are least protected against risky outbound traffic?

scores egress security posture for each VPC/VNet and ranks them so the weakest exposure surfaces first, requiring the Distributed Cloud Firewall feature to be enabled to populate the score

How is traffic actually flowing between my clouds and on-prem sites right now?

shows routing information for every managed resource across the transit network, including multicloud and Site2Cloud connections, in one routing view

Which gateway security rules are getting hit, and how often?

shows per-rule session counts and logging state on the gateway security rules tab, so a rule with no traffic or no logging turned on stands out

Is my segmentation policy consistent across VRFs and Kubernetes clusters?

tracks VRF-aware policy alongside a view of intra-cluster traffic orchestration health, so segmentation gaps between the network layer and cluster traffic are visible in the same console

Which cloud accounts or gateways are out of compliance with FIPS requirements?

shows FIPS 140-3 compliance indicators directly in the interface next to the affected gateways

Lines in monospace are the tool's own words: help text parsed from its source, or an endpoint from its API document. Under release, a line is our summary of a dated release. Under docs, it is quoted from the tool's own documentation or website. Each links back to the source it came from.

Score card

  1. Shipping velocity releases a month, last 12 months
  2. Documentation quality release-notes rubric, 0–100
  3. Breaking-change discipline how rarely a release breaks users, and notice given
  4. Maintenance risk quiet time against its own cadence, maintainers
  5. Innovation & surface new capabilities, API and MCP surface

Five scores for Aviatrix CoPilot, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.

Score cards are part of every paid plan.

See plans →

Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.

How this is scored
  • Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
  • Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
  • Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
  • Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
  • Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
  • Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
  • Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
  • Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.
