Cloud management for AWS. Made easy.

Features that make nOps special

These are AWS best practices for cost optimization, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and operational excellence.

AWS cloud is awesome. Elastic compute capacity. A flexible pay-per-use model that delivers significant cost savings over traditional data centers. World-class security. All helping you achieve faster idea-to-cash and product delivery.

The cloud challenge. Like many teams, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed with the volume and velocity of changes to your AWS cloud infrastructure. You need better visibility to IT changes so you can manage cost, security, and compliance. And still go fast.

Enter nOps. nOps is the only cloud management platform built for AWS that delivers resource and cost optimization, cloud governance, and administration and provisioning – without compromising DevOps speed.

● nOps provides continuous, real-time scoring of your infrastructure health using these and other benchmarks, and helps identify remediations to close gaps.

● If you’re planning an AWS Well-Architected Review, nOps can speed the process with automated discovery of high-risk issues for the Review and then provide continuous feedback afterward.

● nOps helps create remediation recommendations that are fact-based and well-aligned with actual infrastructure gaps. `

nOps was shaped directly by customers to help organizations do three things really well — go faster with control, manage cloud compliance and costs, and improve security.”
