What is Cloud Management Software?

Cloud management software refers to tools that simplify the deployment, management, and optimization of cloud resources and services. These platforms provide centralized control over cloud infrastructure, helping organizations monitor and manage public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. Key features often include cost management, resource provisioning, scaling, performance monitoring, and security management. By using cloud management software, organizations can optimize their cloud usage, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with industry standards. These tools often integrate with cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, allowing for seamless management across multiple cloud platforms.

    Spot Ocean

    Spot Ocean

    Spot by NetApp

    Spot Ocean lets you reap the benefits of Kubernetes without worrying about infrastructure while gaining deep cluster visibility and dramatically reducing costs. The key question is how to use containers without the operational overhead of managing the underlying VMs while also take advantage of the cost benefits associated with Spot Instances and multi-cloud. Spot Ocean is built to solve this problem by managing containers in a “Serverless” environment. Ocean provides an abstraction on top of virtual machines allowing to deploy Kubernetes clusters without the need to manage the underlying VMs. Ocean takes advantage of multiple compute purchasing options like Reserved and Spot instance pricing and failover to On-Demand instances whenever necessary, providing 80% reduction in infrastructure costs. Spot Ocean is a Serverless Compute Engine that abstracts the provisioning (launching), auto-scaling, and management of worker nodes in Kubernetes clusters.

    Contrail Insights

    Contrail Insights

    Juniper Networks

    Contrail Insights enables operators to control and visualize how infrastructure resources are utilized by workloads, and plan adequate capacity to ensure application performance. Using Contrail Insights, operators of software-defined data centers have a toolset for visibility into operational performance and infrastructure resources. In today’s large-scale multicloud networks, operations teams must have real-time and historical visibility into their infrastructure to ensure service reliability and minimize operational costs. Cloud infrastructure is typically built in layers of abstraction and, as operations become more automated, performance monitoring replaces manual changes as the most common task. As telemetry data increases, however, and abstraction layers are peeled back to examine and troubleshoot the state of the network infrastructure, monitoring complexity increases as well.

    Fairwinds Insights

    Fairwinds Insights

    Fairwinds Ops

    Protect and optimize your mission-critical Kubernetes applications. Fairwinds Insights is a Kubernetes configuration validation platform that proactively monitors your Kubernetes and container configurations and recommends improvements. The software combines trusted open source tools, toolchain integrations, and SRE expertise based on hundreds of successful Kubernetes deployments. Balancing the velocity of engineering with the reactionary pace of security can result in messy Kubernetes configurations and unnecessary risk. Trial-and-error efforts to adjust CPU and memory settings eats into engineering time and can result in over-provisioning data center capacity or cloud compute. Traditional monitoring tools are critical, but don’t provide everything needed to proactively identify changes to maintain reliable Kubernetes workloads.
