Imagine a Cloud Management Platform with Automation Built-In
“The flexibility of CloudShell Colony and AWS has not only allowed us to innovate our solutions faster, but it also allowed us to build on top of the Colony software. Now, our developers can use a Slack integration that we built to reserve the dynamic application environments they need for testing all without the need for our DevOps teams to disclose sensitive passwords. This has resulted in reduced time to market, more productivity, and better visibility into our cloud usage.”
– – Pavel Eliav, Head of DevOps at Resident
DevOps toolchain orchestration and automation
API integration with your CI/CD pipeline tools for end to end DevOps automation. OOB plug-ins provide seamless integration
with your CI/CD pipeline tool, for reliable and secure production-like environments all the way from CI to CD.
The benefits of a DevOps CMP tool, perfect for Blue Green deployment strategy
CloudShell Colony is a unified orchestration layer connecting to your cloud accounts like AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes — automating application environment provisioning and deployment throughout your value stream.
Value Stream Optimization from Dev to Prod

Cloud Infrastructure Services: Benefits for your teams
Concentrate on innovation, not on gluing pieces together
Provide application environments throughout the DevOps toolchain. Abstract applications and leverage your Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) assets in Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates, and more.
Environments that keep the CI/CD pipeline flowing
Offer a visual catalog of blueprints to deliver global end users with self-service, on-demand dev/ test and production environments in minutes.
Manage cloud costs, security and control without impacting speed
Reduce resource sprawl and trace cloud infrastructure utilization to business needs with automatic decommissioning, tagging and environment policies. Without making anyone wait.
FEATURES
SIMPLE BLUEPRINT MODELING
Build reusable environment blueprints on AWS, Azure and Kubernetes. Environments are sourced controlled YAMLs or visualized in a friendly UI. Environments include containers, compute instances, load balancers,
network & security elements, serverless functions, cloud services, and more.
Support complex environments with parameters, initial data, configuration, and health-checks.

Support complex environments with parameters, initial data, configuration, and health-checks.
MANAGE CLOUD COSTS
Eliminate uncertainty and avoid over-spending in your AWS, Google, or Azure cloud accounts. Cost dashboard connects public cloud costs back to your business, estimates costs per blueprint, and provides full visibility with analytics to optimize cloud spend.
SELF-SERVICE ENVIRONMENTS
Role and Policy based on-demand environments from a blueprint catalog. Colony deploys your environment with automatic set-up, health-checks and tear-down that work out of the box.
GOVERNANCE AT SPEED
RBAC, Multi-tenancy, Secret Management,
Audit Trail: Everything required to make sure scaling, security, cost, and compliance are covered while increasing release speed.
SEAMLESS CI/CD INTEGRATION
Native integration to the organizational DevOps ecosystem including Jenkins, TeamCity, Github and more. Support for manual production updates to full automated continuous deployment.

CloudShell Colony Difference:
More than a Cloud Management Platform (CMP)
Developers love it
Colony offers a modular approach to blueprinting — helping developer platform teams build their own blueprints based on application building blocks with the necessary guardrails from ITOps. It connects the application development lifecycle with infrastructure control, teams can contribute expertise without creating bottlenecks.
Supports your Value Stream
CloudShell Colony knows which cloud infrastructure is used for planning, development, testing, and production and offers smarter ways to leverage
your infrastructure.
Supports deployment-to-production strategies like blue-green
Built for DevOps, Colony makes it easy for developers and SREs to use. Its dedicated production environments area isolates repositories, cloud providers, and access. It also supports blueprint deployment to production, and enables deployment to production strategies like blue-green.
Seamless plug-in to your CI/CD pipeline
Native integrations with your favorite DevOps and CI/CD tools including Jenkins, Azure DevOps, TeamCity, CircleCI and others. Built-in plug-ins support developers’ needs, without burdening developers and DevOps teams.
Natively source controlled
Unlike CMPs that require exporting blueprints and templates to code format and source controlling them, Colony blueprints are 100% source controlled and synched with repositories like Github and Bitbucket—meaning no overhead or additional processes to continuously source control your blueprints.
Smart integration with Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Colony helps you add Terraform modules as infrastructure building blocks, making it possible to use Terraform assets in a controlled way. This is essential for DevOps at Scale.
Fanatical about blueprint reusability
Colony is built on solid DevOps automation and orchestration best practices including blueprint reusability and modularity concepts. It helps teams build blueprints fast and ensures ease of reuse.
Dynamically supporting security needs
Colony automates whole environments based on immutable infrastructure principals with dynamic cloud configurations at setup and teardown. Helping secure DevOps at Scale.
CONTROL PUBLIC CLOUD COSTS
Achieve cloud spend optimization, accountability, and allocation and eliminate guesswork with automated tagging and resource tear down.
