A startup called FluidCloud has created a simple, one-click platform that employs AI-based agents to help companies quickly clone their cloud infrastructure environment, so it can be ported in its entirety to another cloud platform. FluidCloud co-founder and Chief Executive Sharad Kumar told that the FluidCloud Platform reverse engineers the customer’s environment into a “standard infrastructure definition,” so it can be rapidly remapped across any cloud architecture in seconds. The platform is rooted in AI and “infrastructure as code” principles and helps transform cloud infrastructure designs into strategic and portable assets that can be deployed anywhere. To automate this process, FluidCloud has built an intelligent system of cloud AI agents that are trained to understand and replicate a customer’s entire cloud infrastructure environment. “These agents leverage a programmatic Cloud API mapping engine that we’ve painstakingly developed, covering every layer of compute, networking, storage, IAM, and security policies across multiple providers,” Kumar explained. FluidCloud’s AI agents are prepared to tackle even the biggest workloads running in the cloud, including global-scale applications such as Uber or Trello, Kumar said. Such applications typically have hundreds of microservices deployed across compute, network and storage services on a cloud such as AWS, he said. Using its AI agents, FluidCloud can identify each service and its configuration, copy it and then clone it on the target cloud platform. Once that’s done, FluidCloud provides DevOps teams with a new CI/CD pipeline tailored to the new cloud provider. With a small number of application code tweaks, an app built on AWS can seamlessly run on Google Cloud Platform or Microsoft Azure. Afterwards, the customer will be able to decide if they want to become multicloud or decommission the old application infrastructure.
