Most tools stop at infrastructure. CloudBolt goes further.
Why CloudBolt?
Bring your own stack
200+ out-of-the-box integrations
Any cloud
AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Nutanix, and more
Single-pane of glass
Cross-cloud visibility, cost, and IAM
Orchestration that thinks like your business
End-to-end workflow orchestration
Connect infrastructure, approvals, business logic, and people into automated workflows that run the same way every time.
Self-service without chaos
Every team gets a catalog to request what they need; governance, cost controls, and approvals are already baked in before anything deploys.
Consistent across every environment
The same orchestration logic runs across public clouds, private data centers, Kubernetes, and SaaS from a single control plane.
Orchestration as software
Manage and version automation workflows in source control, so your orchestration layer is as reliable and auditable as your application code.

The answer to the ecosystem problem
The Broadcom acquisition of VMware was a reminder of what happens when your operations are built inside someone else’s walls. CloudBolt orchestrates across whatever cloud, infrastructure, or tooling you already use — and never holds you hostage to its own.
- No proprietary runtime – everything is Python-based, which means your automation logic is portable; lift it out and use it anywhere.
- Infinitely extensible – when a competitor says “that’s on our roadmap,” CloudBolt customers have already built it; if the platform doesn’t do something today, you write Python and ship it in hours, not months.
- Vendor-agnostic by design – 200+ integrations with major clouds, hypervisors, ITSM tools, IaC frameworks, and GitOps pipelines; no rip-and-replace required.

Native tools govern reasonably well inside one cloud. The problem hits when you’re running two or three clouds with different teams and different toolchains — and no single view of who built what, how, or whether it was done correctly.
- Unified visibility – one view across all resources, environments, and teams; not a collection of console tabs you have to stitch together
- Cross-cloud IAM – know who has the right access across every stack, not just who has access inside a single cloud
- Governance baked in, not bolted on – tagging, cost controls, security policies, and compliance requirements are built into every provisioning blueprint so nothing slips through
- Consistent, every time – the question isn’t whether you can provision. It’s whether your provisioning is always correct, always governed, done the same way, every time

FAQs
-
What is cloud orchestration and how is it different from provisioning?
Provisioning creates a resource. Orchestration coordinates everything that happens before, during, and after — approvals, governance, integrations, notifications, cost controls, and handoffs between teams. Most organizations already have provisioning covered with Terraform or native cloud tools. What they lack is a way to guarantee that provisioning is consistent, governed, and repeatable across every cloud, every team, every time. That’s what cloud orchestration solves.
-
How is CloudBolt different from using native cloud tools like AWS CloudFormation or Azure Blueprints?
Native tools work well inside their own ecosystem — but they don’t talk to each other. When you’re running workloads across AWS, Azure, and VMware, you end up context-switching between consoles, enforcing policies inconsistently, and stitching together separate cost reports. CloudBolt provides a single orchestration layer across all of them, with consistent governance, unified visibility, and one set of workflows regardless of what’s underneath.
-
What does “no lock-in” mean in practice?
CloudBolt’s automation logic is Python-based, which means it’s portable — you can lift your workflows and use them elsewhere. You’re not building inside a proprietary runtime that only works within CloudBolt’s ecosystem. If you change cloud providers, add a new hypervisor, or swap out a tool, your orchestration layer adapts. The Broadcom acquisition of VMware illustrated what happens when you’re built inside someone else’s walls — CloudBolt is designed to be the alternative to that situation.
-
How extensible is CloudBolt really?
There’s no ceiling. If CloudBolt doesn’t support something out of the box, you write Python and it’s in your stack — typically in hours, not the 18-month roadmap cycle you’d face with most vendors. This is one of the top reasons CloudBolt wins competitive deals, and it’s often something prospects only discover during the sales process. Any system with an API can be integrated; any workflow logic can be built.
-
When do organizations typically realize they need CloudBolt?
Usually after the fact — after a security audit reveals inconsistent provisioning, after sprawl has accumulated across multiple cloud accounts, or after an incident exposes gaps in governance. As Shawn Petty at CloudBolt puts it: “People typically realize they need our tool after they need our tool.” The goal of this page is to help teams recognize the signs earlier: multiple clouds, different teams, no single view, inconsistent standards.
-
Does CloudBolt replace Terraform, Ansible, or other IaC tools?
No. CloudBolt connects to and orchestrates across your existing IaC tools — it doesn’t replace them. Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and similar tools handle configuration and provisioning; CloudBolt wraps them in governance, approvals, lifecycle management, self-service, and cross-cloud workflow logic. Your existing investments stay intact; CloudBolt adds the orchestration layer on top, making things that they don’t do possible.
