Maestro: Balancing Business Values

When it comes to orchestration of any business and technical sides of a project, Maestro provides all necessary features for the effective management in Cloud.

First, the abovementioned features are available both as a single solution or separately. Moreover, you can customize them as you need, and complement with new features by adding new code. Each component can be used as a standalone unit, deploying a fully functional environment within minutes. There is also a native application for iOs and Android platforms covering about 80 per cents of functionality.

Second, you can work with many tenants in different regions and clouds, as Maestro provides you with a single entry-point for Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, AWS and OpenStack-based regions. Need a tenant for each of your teams? With Maestro, get as many tenants as necessary. Each virtual infrastructure is assigned and billed to a specific tenant.
 

Besides, a unified approach ensures for you a management and reporting toolset. A mixed billing model allows collecting the billing information from different cloud providers as is. Afterwards, it can be adjusted before sharing with end-users.

What about access control? End-users can access Maestro with corporate credentials and get default role-based permissions. By the way, permissions are customizable for each user. Next to the access, our solution enables you to control resources and costs. If you need to optimize infrastructure usage and cut costs, just create schedules to automate infrastructure shutdown and start. Work with the Schedules tool or with Infrastructure as Code tools to automate infrastructure and disaster recovery processes. Our consolidated audit will provide you with information on all infrastructure events. Besides, Maestro automatically discovers all the resources and their ownership. Due to such a dynamic inventory, there is always a person assigned as a contact point for a resource.

Now guess what is another essential aspect for multi-cloud and multitenant projects? Of course, we are talking about monitoring and analysis! Watch the infrastructure performance at different levels, from general Cloud to a specific virtual machine. If necessary, you can add critical metrics to the Maestro dashboards. And the succeeding expenses control will help you to boost the cost-effectiveness.

With the quota engine, you can set up the monthly expenses limits and be aware of the quota utilization level. In addition to quota notifications, you may enable self-service management of a tenant till a certain quota limit is reached, and creation of new resources with manager’s approval only after that.

And last but not least – security coverage and vulnerability detection. Maestro takes the best security practices of supported cloud providers. It uses their tools and enables detailed and comprehensive security audit necessary to meet high standard security requirements and pass certifications. And Nessus Scanner checks the virtual resources and provides the detailed reports with fix recommendations for each case.

Maestro has been gradually evolving for several years, adding up all the best practices of cloud orchestration, so now you can easily balance business and technical projects sides with the help of it. Maestro team is always open for improvements and gets inspired for developing new features after the customers' feedback.
