Selecting a Cloud Management Platform is a critical decision with far-reaching effects on your enterprise financial health, operational agility, security resilience, and ability to innovate. This isn't just a technology purchase, it is a fundamental business decision. To assist with this choice, we address the five key questions you should ask to validate the platform's strategic value to your organization. 1. How does Maestro fit my Enterprise Size and Load? 2. Are there any PoCs or Demos for Maestro to see how it actually works for my enterprise? 3. How does the Maestro accelerate our 'Concept-to-Cash' cycle and improve business velocity? 4. Does Maestro makes us "cloud-agnostic" without becoming "cloud-complicated"? 5. How much training do we need to start using Maestro? 1. How does Maestro fit my Enterprise Size and Load? Maestro main target customers are large organizations (government, bu...

Selecting a new solution for an enterprise is a complicated decision that grounds on numerous parameters. This especially applies to selecting a cloud management platform, as it significantly affects the major part of the corporate lifestyle, including financial, operational, security, and technological aspects. Today, we introduce a new post in our "Top 5 Questions" series and will give answers to the top questions a CFO may ask before Maestro is introduced to their infrastructure. 1.

How Maestro can be used to optimize operational expenses? 1. How does Maestro move us from 'Cost Tracking' to '...

Rapid evolution in IT engineering is changing how modern platforms are built and operated. Today, engineering teams must balance scalability, security, cost efficiency, compliance, and performance—while integrating AI into both user-facing services and internal workflows. This growing complexity is redefining platform and infrastructure engineering, and bringing to life a new concept – Neocloud, focused on provisioning capacities for AI, machine learning and data analytics workload. In response to these challenges, Maestro takes a major step forward in 2026, evolving into a powerful framework for building complex engineering solutions with modern tooling, AI capabilities, and proven best practices. Maestro 2026: Build Your AI Platform In 2026, Maestro evolves into an Infrastructure Orchestrator and Platform Engineering Hub , enabling Autonomous Orchestration across the entire engineering lifecycle. With AI becoming a core part of modern service provisioning, one ...

There is a typical challenge, frequently faced by organizations of different sizes, domains and technologies. Financial, development, security, and management teams work each in their own bubble. Each team uses different tools, tracks different metrics, and speaks a different language even if it comes to the same subject. This disconnection frequently leads to miscommunication, friction, unexpected budget overruns, and security gaps. The result is inefficiency and risk that could otherwise be avoided. Effective cloud management and FinOps is not only about the tools. It's a cultural shift toward shared accountability for cloud spending. It requires creating an environment where technical, management, and financial teams can work together seamlessly. Maestro is the platform enabling this by design. It provides a unified view for infrastructure, costs, security, breaking down departmental barriers and enabling effective, data-driven cooperation across your entire organizati...

Maestro is a complex product, having a modular structure. This means it consists of different elements, or modules, that can be set up and used altogether or one by one, if necessary. The majority of the tools are CLIs that need to have setup or quick start guides, reference guides, usage instructions and scenarios, etc. Each element needs to be documented separately, and the documentation needs to be maintained timely. This gives quite a big piece of work for either the development or documentation teams, or even both. However, Maestro team invented their own tooling for automating CLI documentation management, and this both significantly decreases the related daily effort, and facilitates keeping all deliverables to the same style and format, irrespective of the person who creates them. The custom documentation tool operates via a focused, repeatable pipeline: md → .docx → .pdf This process separates and integrates two content types: The static co...

In our previous posts we have already discussed the details on the financial management tools, by their function on different stages of infrastructure lifecycle (find them here ). We also frequently speak about security , and optimization . Maestro Dashboard is the key entry point for both finding out the data about your infrastructure, and cooperation between teams.It represents the key indicators and findings, each grouped in separate views for your convenience. Here, you can see the general infrastructure statistics, top spendings per cloud, service, or resource type (FinOps); the suggested infrastructure optimization possibilities (Optimization), and the security and compliance statuses (Security). Maestro Dashboard is not only about row data: you can interact with the numbers, call reports, thus receiving more details and diving deeper into investigations of specific cases. You can also adjust the content and look for the Dashboard to better meet your goals,...

Have you ever built a "perfect" dashboard only to realize that no one uses it? Have you spent weeks crafting a detailed report that was supposed to provide your customers with more context, but instead provided your support team with more customers? Most of developers did it, for sure. The question is – how we improve the situation when users tend to skip or misunderstand charts and reports we share with them. Maestro team, together with EPAM Syndicate Rule Engine (SRE) team, developed an interesting solution, based on a simple core idea. The numerous reports, charts, and dashboards should be addressed to the needs of specific user groups. This is how the idea of four-layer reporting was born: Operational level reports – those representing the on the go changes and actions, and making it easy to track specific events and alerts. Project reports – those covering the project-level statistics and allowing to find general project changes, trends, and responsib...
