The idea isn’t new.
But, a quick Google search also shows that it hasn’t exactly taken off either.
In fact, other than a few ads for service providers, Wikipedia maintains Google’s top billing – describing cloud engineering as:
“the application of engineering disciplines to cloud computing…In practice, it leverages the methods and tools of engineering in conceiving, developing, operating and maintaining cloud computing systems and solutions. It is about the process of designing the systems necessary to leverage the power and economics of cloud resources to solve business problems.”
In other words, cloud engineering is about business. It’s not about software tools. It’s about systematizing and standardizing the foundations of cloud-based software development to become the foundations of your business – to unleash your business potential.
BOS is a cloud engineering platform. We’ve taken these foundational parts of software development – that vary little from business to business – and automated them. We’ve automated them because they can be automated. We’ve automated them because they should be automated. We’ve automated them because these are not areas where you want your developers getting creative or learning on the job. The stakes are too high. You need engineering.
And, because of our automation and engineering, you have complete insight into your technology while still maintaining control.
Here is some of what we automate and you manage and monitor in your BOS console:
- Setting up and/or configuring AWS or Azure
- Setting up or migrating databases
- CI/CD
- Code scanning (security, memory leaks, etc.)
- Endpoint protection
- Binary randomization
- Foundational microservices (auth, logging, alerting and monitoring, emailing, etc.)
The results:
- Your system is more secure.
- Your system and your business are scalable.
- Your system maintenance costs are reduced.
- Your applications are integrated.
- You know what you have and can manage it in one place.
- You focus on developing the unique code that drives your business.
Cloud engineering brings clarity, transparency, and certainty to your software development and your business.
This is why we call ourselves the Business Operating System (BOS).
