CloudBolt

CloudBolt is an incredibly fierce, highly agile platform that explicitly targets the massive pain of "Shadow IT." In many companies, the IT department is so slow that developers get frustrated, steal a corporate credit card, and secretly buy their own AWS servers (Shadow IT), causing massive security and financial nightmares. CloudBolt exists to make the IT department as fast and frictionless as the public cloud. Its absolute biggest differentiator is its "Stunning Self-Service Catalog." It completely hides the terrifying complexity of AWS, Azure, and VMware behind a beautiful, Amazon.com-style shopping cart. A developer logs in, adds a "Standard Linux Web Server" to their cart, and clicks checkout. CloudBolt's engine does all the terrifying backend provisioning across the hybrid cloud automatically. Because it was built for extreme agility, its "Integration Framework" is incredibly powerful. Legacy tools require months of expensive consulting to integrate. CloudBolt uses a massively open, Python-based architecture. A mid-level engineer can literally write a 10-line Python script inside CloudBolt to integrate a completely custom, homegrown security tool directly into the server deployment process in an afternoon.
