Quali Torque orchestrates and deploys application environments across cloud platforms and IaC technologies so you can understand resource utilization, boost developer productivity, standardize configurations, and manage costs.
Traditional approaches to provisioning cloud infrastructure can slow your teams down and drive up wasted budget.
Tracking infrastructure deployments and configurations is difficult across multiple cloud platforms, Git repositories, and IaC modules.
Redundant provisioning processes and limited access to infrastructure can prevent developers, testers, and engineers from operating at peak velocity.
Enforcing standards to prevent over-sized cloud resources and zombie infrastructure is challenging across cloud platforms and teams.
Track real-time cloud deployments by user, team, and cloud so you can monitor month-to-date costs and identify opportunities to optimize usage proactively.
Accelerate your developers, testers, and other technical staff with secure access to deploy cloud services pre-configured to support their use cases and align with your custom guardrails.
Allow developers to run cloud infrastructure that meets your standards while denying activity that does not, with custom policies for resource configurations and automated termination of idle resources.
Quali Torque creates reusable templates for unique environments from your team’s existing IaC modules in Git. Developers can deploy environments based on those pre-configured templates via Quali Torque’s self-service catalog and integrations with CI/CD tools and Internal Developer Platforms.
Track cost accruals and usage based on real-time deployments by team, application, and cloud so you don’t need to rely on retractive cloud billing data to understand impact on budget. Visibility into actively deployed resources and cloud configurations allows your teams to detect and address cost anomalies or other issues proactively.
Allow your teams to run cloud infrastructure that adheres to your custom standards, while denying any activity that creates waste. Prevent zombie infrastructure with automated termination of cloud resources based on operational schedules. Prohibit costly behavior with custom policies to deny deployments with over-sized cloud instances, unapproved technologies, excessive runtime, or expected cloud costs.
Don’t let unexpected changes to cloud configurations disrupt your teams. Monitor for configuration drift in live environments and allows your teams to push changes to live environments without disrupting operations, so you can ensure all infrastructure adheres to the latest conditions.

Quali’s Torque is intended to help you get more out of your Infrastructure as Code files.
After recognizing that our customers spent most of their time manually configuring multiple IaC and containerized assets into complete environments, we designed Torque to automate that process so they can spend their time more productively.
Torque ingests Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, and Kubernetes assets directly from your Git repositories, allows you to select the assets you need for a given environment, then automatically orchestrates a ready-to-run environment based on those assets.
These environments are wrapped in YAML that makes them repeatable, so developers, testers, and other end users can deploy them as many times as needed. This also allows you to set policies and make updates centrally that will be reflected in the YAML every time your end users deploy the environment.
Think of Torque as the control plane for your infrastructure assets.
Yes, we encourage it! Our most successful users automate the orchestration of complete environments that may contain multiple Terraform scripts, CloudFormation assets, Helm Charts, or Kubernetes manifests so they don’t have to do it manually.
Currently Torque ingests assets from Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Helm, and native Kubernetes—with additional types on our product roadmap.
Quali’s Torque will help your teams prevent unnecessary costs while also tracking the total costs of the infrastructure your teams do consume.
Our users create blueprints for the complete environments their teams need. Role-based access controls prevent anyone without the proper permissions from modifying the infrastructure or configurations set within the blueprint. Maximum duration allows admins to pre-set runtimes, after which Torque will automatically terminate the environment. And policies based on Open Policy Agent allow admins to prohibit specific infrastructure, such as VM sizes or cloud services, that may not be allowed.
Torque’s cost reporting is based on tags. Torque automatically tags each environment based on inputs, which admins can modify as needed. This allows you to tag environments based on the team, project, application, or any other custom input, then allocate those costs back to that input. This provides more granular visibility based on your team’s activity, as opposed to just the line items for the cloud services that appear on the cloud service provider’s bill.
Yes! Our customers rely on Quali CloudShell as a low-code/no-code tool for provisioning infrastructure and launching environments based on on-premises infrastructure.
Quali’s Torque infrastructure automation platform received SoC 2 Type II compliance certification following a thorough audit by a multinational professional services network and independent third-party auditor.
The SOC 2 reporting framework, created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), sets benchmarks for managing user data. Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures current and future Quali customers that they have the proper security, privacy, and compliance controls in place to protect and manage its users’ data.
Torque includes out-of-the-box plugins and an extensive REST API for your existing CI/CD and DevOps tools, enabling you to automate the entire lifecycle of your environments directly from your own release pipeline. This allows you to automate the deployment of an environment when needed and automate the teardown when it is not.
