DuploCloud – Making DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code accessible for everyone

The Silicon Review

In the years that low- and no-code development tools have been available, the movement has been slow to gather pace. Until recently, the vast majority of app and workflow development has remained firmly in the hands of professional coders. No-code development is reaching a tipping point, and this trickle of adoption has turned into a torrent, driving more and more business demand daily. The reason for this acceleration is simple: Digital transformation requires speed. If businesses are to digitize the full universe of processes across all departments, then they need tools that can be adopted quickly and with little ramp-up time. No-code tools are an ideal solution to this problem, and not just for a short-term fix. If the investment is seen solely as a short-term fix to immediate problems, it’s very likely that a company’s digital transformation efforts will continue to die on the vine. Digital transformation is not a “one-and-done” process; it’s only the start of a new business strategy based on continual innovation, where new apps and tools are built and rebuilt, time and again, to keep up with changing market dynamics and customer/employee requirements.

DuploCloud is one such company that offers an end-to-end DevOps software platform for dev. teams that don’t have dedicated DevOps engineers and augments those that do. The platform automates the provisioning of your application to the cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), integrating cloud ops, DevOps, and security/compliance with 24x7 monitoring and support. The software runs in your cloud account and is accessed through its UI, Terraform, or API. An end-to-end DevSecOps software platform that acts as your cloud expert, taking high-level application specifications from the user and translates them to detailed cloud configurations employing best practices around security, availability, and compliance guidelines. Delivers enterprise-grade operational procedures required in regulated industries. Built on top of the platform, it includes a 24×7 security and operations center, incident management, auditor engagement, application health monitoring, integrating application deployments into a CI/CD framework and assistance with containerization.

Delivers enterprise-grade operational procedures required in regulated industries. Built on top of the platform, it includes a 24×7 security and operations center, incident management, auditor engagement, application health monitoring, integrating application deployments into a CI/CD framework and assistance with containerization. Seamlessly build and operate applications on the edge as if it were a cloud instance with automation, security and compliance controls.

SOC 2 Overview: For B2B organizations, SOC 2 reports are a trusted way to show customers and prospects that your security practices protect their data. SOC 2 Audits can take anywhere from 2 months to a year depending on the type and scope of the audit. They work with clients to be audit ready in weeks, with an immediate turn around for Type 1 and to start the clock on a Type 2. SOC 2 allows more flexibility for the company on how to meet or address the individual controls. Contrast that to other security frameworks, such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA which are very well-defined standards with explicit requirements. With DuploCloud, SOC 2 security and control implementation is auto generated and seamlessly integrates into DevOps workflows from the start. Other security products provide controls after resources are provisioned, limiting coverage to only 30% of the required security controls set. DuploCloud is the only automation platform spanning both provisioning and security that ensures adherence to 90% of the required security controls set.

The Visionary Leader Upfront

Venkat Thiruvengadam is the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Board Member of DuploCloud. He is among the handful of people who pioneered the public cloud technology more than a decade back. He was an early engineer at Microsoft Azure, the first developer and founding member in Azure’s networking team. He wrote significant parts of Azure compute and network controller stack where he saw Azure grow from a hundred-odd server to millions of nodes in just a few years. After leaving Microsoft he realized that such hyperscale automation techniques have not made their way outside of companies like AWS, Microsoft and Google. This led Venkat to form DuploCloud with a goal to bring the hyperscale automation techniques to main street IT.
