DATASHEET
CloudBolt lets IT administrators ask only the pertinent questions and provide
only the valid choices that the end user should see. Then the IT admin can
encode business logic into the process, to ensure the right options are used
that match the user's needs. They can do this not only for the size of server
(small, medium or large) but also the type of server (database, web server or
WordPress server). It all comes down to making it easier for the end users to
understand the process and not get bogged down by questions they don't know
how to answer.
CloudBolt's cloud management platform offers users a simple
catalog to spin up services. The catalog enables admins to create
blueprints for controlled and repeatable deployments by end
users. A blueprint can be as simple as a one-click single server
build or as complex as a multi-tier load balanced application
stack running in multiple environments.
Plus, a blueprint can be composed of only actions, with no servers provisioned.
For example, administrators could create blueprints for ordering laptops, filing
support tickets in an external tracker or providing similar solutions not involving
actual VM provisioning.
CloudBolt connects to an organization's virtualization platform and public cloud
provider via resource handlers, or application programming interfaces. The
resource handlers allow the CloudBolt platform to discover an organization's
VMs, VM images, clusters, networks and more. Additionally, resource handlers
working in conjunction with the platform's unified interface allow it to perform
actions like server creation or modification for the end user.
