Cloudyard gives your tenants the self-service cloud experience they demand — developer portals, data platforms, one-click deployments — all running on your infrastructure. No hyperscaler. No licensing fees. No migration headaches.
A prospect with 40 seats compared you to AWS and walked. Not because of price. Because you had no automation story. Your tenants expect self-service provisioning, data platforms and developer tooling — not a ticket queue that takes three days to spin up a VM. That deal won't be the last.
Your tenants aren't leaving because AWS is faster. They're leaving because AWS feels effortless. Every team that's touched a cloud console now expects the same experience wherever they work.
Developers raise tickets to provision storage, spin up environments, or install a Python package. Days pass. Momentum dies. Teams compare notes and evaluate alternatives.
VMware licensing costs just became untenable for thousands of companies. They're reviewing their entire infrastructure stack right now — but only if you can offer something more than "we'll migrate your VMs."
Data engineers and scientists are the hardest to provision for. GPU access, pip dependencies, notebook environments, data lake permissions — all manual, all slow, all friction that makes cloud look easy by comparison.
Cloudyard is a pre-integrated, opinionated platform that sits on top of your existing infrastructure and delivers a complete developer and data science experience via a self-service portal.
Every Cloudyard component has a thriving open source community, extensive documentation, and enterprise support tiers available directly from projects like MinIO, Grafana, and Talos — on your terms. No single vendor dependency. Ever.
Your business model is built on static, predictable costs. Cloudyard fits that model exactly — tenants pay a flat monthly subscription tier on top of their existing hosting contract.
