CLOUD MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
Built for Platform Engineering
Unify multi-cloud infrastructure, automate governance, and control costs across your entire cloud estate, all without vendor lock-in and at a controllable cost.
The Multi-cloud Management Challenge
Fragmented Cloud Visibility
Managing AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, or sovereign clouds like Outscale, Scaleway or Ionos means juggling multiple dashboards, APIs, and management consoles. No single source of truth for your cloud estate.
Cost Sprawl & Waste
Organizations are adopting multi-cloud strategies for resilience and best-of-breed services, but managing disparate cloud environments creates operational complexity, security risks, and unpredictable costs.
Governance Gaps
Inconsistent security policies, manual approval processes, and compliance blind spots create risk. Too much control slows teams; too little creates chaos.
Why Cycloid's Cloud Management Platform?
Traditional CMPs focus on infrastructure abstraction. Cycloid goes further, combining CMP capabilities with an Internal Developer Platform to deliver self-service, automation, and developer experience alongside enterprise-grade cloud governance.
Unified Portal & Platform
Not just cloud management, combine CMP capabilities with developer self-service and platform engineering best practices in one solution.
GitOps-First Approach
All infrastructure as code, version-controlled, and auditable. Your automation is yours.
FinOps & GreenOps Built-In
Cost estimation before deployment, cloud cost management across providers, and carbon footprint tracking. Sustainability meets financial responsibility.
No Vendor Lock-In
Cloud-agnostic and tool-agnostic. Choose your clouds and integrate your tools. Freedom to do what’s best for your business.
Rapid Implementation
Up and running in weeks, not years. Get 80% of best practices out of the box, customize the final 20% to your needs.
Policy As Code
Automated governance with Infra Policies. Enforce compliance, security, and cost controls without manual reviews or bottlenecks.

1.
Define & Catalog
Platform teams create reusable Stacks (infrastructure templates), define Infra Policies, and set up governance guardrails. Build your service catalog once.
2.
Self-Service Provisioning
Developers and end-users access StackForms – a self-service portal with pre-approved options. No Terraform knowledge required. Estimate costs before deployment.
3.
Automated Orchestration
GitOps workflows kick off. Cycloid provisions infrastructure via Terraform/IaC, runs CI/CD pipelines, and enforces policies automatically. Everything is version-controlled.
4.
Monitor & Optimize
Asset Inventory tracks all resources in real-time. Cloud Cost Management reveals spending. InfraView diagrams show infrastructure topology. Observability and FinOps in one place.
USE CASES
Multi-Cloud Governance for Enterprises
Large enterprises struggle with fragmented governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Different teams use different clouds, creating security risks and cost overruns. Cycloid provides centralized governance with Policy as Code, RBAC, and unified Asset Inventory. Platform teams enforce standards; developers maintain autonomy.
Outcomes
- Consistent security policies across all clouds
- Reduced compliance audit preparation time by 50%
- Centralized visibility without sacrificing team agility
USE CASES
Hybrid Cloud Migration & Modernization
Organizations migrating from VMware or on-premises to cloud need a bridge solution. Cycloid supports hybrid cloud management, letting you maintain legacy infrastructure while adopting AWS, Azure, or GCP. Infra Import automatically generates IaC from existing resources for review and refinement.
Outcomes
- Smooth migration path from on-prem to cloud
- Infrastructure as Code for legacy resources with Infra Import
- No rip-and-replace, modernize at your own pace
USE CASES
MSP Cloud Management at Scale
Managed Service Providers need to manage multiple customer environments with strong isolation and governance. Cycloid’s Multi-Tenant feature provides a centralized hub to manage siloed customer accounts, with RBAC, cost margins, and self-service portals for each client.
Outcomes
- Manage dozens of customer cloud environments from one platform
- Client self-service portals reduce support tickets
- Transparent cost tracking and margin management
Outcomes you can expect
Self-service provisioning means developers get infrastructure in minutes, not days. Accelerate software delivery.
Cost estimation before deployment and centralized cost management help teams make informed decisions. Reduce cloud waste through visibility and governance.
Policy as Code enforces security, compliance, and best practices automatically. Developers stay productive; platform teams maintain control.
