Cloudy: Cloud Infrastructure Management Platform

Discover how we built a SAAS platform that abstracts away the complexity of cloud infrastructure deployment using Terraform and Ansible.

DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure2024

The Challenge

Cloud infrastructure deployment has become increasingly complex, requiring deep expertise in multiple cloud providers, infrastructure as code tools, and operational best practices. Many organizations struggle with the steep learning curve of Terraform, Ansible, and cloud-native services, leading to deployment delays, security vulnerabilities, and operational inefficiencies.

Our Solution: Cloudy

We developed Cloudy, a SAAS platform that abstracts away the complexity of cloud infrastructure deployment. The platform allows users to deploy production-ready infrastructure with simple forms, while leveraging the power of Terraform and Ansible under the hood for reliability and consistency.

How Cloudy Works

1

Infrastructure Templates

Pre-built, tested templates for common infrastructure patterns and application architectures.

2

One-Click Deployment

Simple form-based configuration that generates and executes Terraform and Ansible playbooks.

3

Application Management

Built-in application deployment and configuration management using Ansible automation.

4

Terraform & Ansible Automation

Automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration management with best practices.

5

Multi-Cloud Support

Unified interface for managing infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud providers.

Technical Architecture

Cloudy is built on a robust, scalable architecture that combines the power of infrastructure as code with user-friendly interfaces:

  • Terraform Integration: Full Terraform lifecycle management with state management and plan execution
  • Ansible Automation: Configuration management and application deployment using Ansible playbooks
  • Multi-Cloud Support: Unified interface for AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud providers
  • Template Engine: Dynamic template generation based on user configuration
  • State Management: Centralized Terraform state storage with versioning and backup
  • Security & Compliance: Built-in security best practices and compliance frameworks

Infrastructure Templates

Cloudy provides a comprehensive library of pre-built infrastructure templates:

Web Applications

Load balancers, auto-scaling groups, databases, and CDN configurations

Data Platforms

Data warehouses, streaming platforms, and analytics infrastructure

Microservices

Container orchestration, service mesh, and API gateway configurations

Security & Compliance

VPC configurations, security groups, IAM policies, and compliance frameworks

Key Features

Visual Infrastructure Designer

Drag-and-drop interface for designing infrastructure architectures

Automated Deployment

One-click deployment with automated testing and validation

Cost Optimization

Built-in cost analysis and optimization recommendations

Monitoring & Alerting

Integrated monitoring, logging, and alerting for deployed infrastructure

Terraform & Ansible Integration

The platform seamlessly integrates Terraform and Ansible for robust infrastructure management:

  • Terraform Plan Preview: Review infrastructure changes before deployment
  • State Management: Centralized state storage with versioning and locking
  • Ansible Playbooks: Automated configuration management and application deployment
  • Rollback Capabilities: Quick rollback to previous infrastructure states
  • Drift Detection: Automatic detection of infrastructure configuration drift

Multi-Cloud Support

Cloudy provides unified management across multiple cloud providers:

AWS

EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, and other AWS services with best practices

Azure

Virtual Machines, Azure SQL, Storage Accounts, and Azure Functions

Google Cloud

Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions

Hybrid & On-Premise

Support for hybrid cloud and on-premise infrastructure management

Security & Compliance

Built-in security features ensure infrastructure is deployed following best practices:

  • Security Scanning: Automated security assessment of infrastructure configurations
  • Compliance Frameworks: Built-in support for SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other standards
  • Access Control: Role-based access control and audit logging
  • Encryption: Automatic encryption of data at rest and in transit

Looking Forward

As cloud technologies continue to evolve, Cloudy will incorporate new services, enhanced automation capabilities, and improved cost optimization. We're committed to making cloud infrastructure management accessible to everyone while maintaining the power and flexibility of enterprise-grade tools.
