  • Access to platform observability tools through a REST interface.

Access and Metering

  • Role-based platform access control
  • Nimble infrastructure to monetize clients as a metering service

Build an Intelligence Layer

  • Produce client-specific policies for workloads that can lead to better performance or a better user experience.
  • Bring cloud technologies to client platforms without affecting the user experience while providing similar functionality to cloud developers.
