Cloud computing has revolutionized how we build, deploy, and scale applications. At Rukmani Software, we help businesses leverage cloud infrastructure to achieve scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Whether you're migrating to the cloud or building cloud-native applications, we provide comprehensive solutions.

Why Cloud Solutions?

Moving to the cloud offers numerous advantages over traditional on-premises infrastructure. Cloud platforms provide flexibility, scalability, and cost savings that enable businesses to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Cloud Service Models

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Fundamental computing resources on-demand:

  • Virtual Machines: Scalable compute instances
  • Storage: Block, object, and file storage
  • Networking: Virtual networks, load balancers, VPNs
  • Full Control: Manage OS, middleware, and applications
  • Examples: AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, Google Compute Engine

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Complete development and deployment environment:

  • Managed Runtime: No server management required
  • Development Tools: Built-in CI/CD pipelines
  • Database Services: Managed databases and caching
  • Auto-Scaling: Automatic resource adjustment
  • Examples: AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure App Service, Google App Engine

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Ready-to-use applications delivered over the internet:

  • No Installation: Access via web browser
  • Automatic Updates: Always latest version
  • Subscription-Based: Pay-as-you-go pricing
  • Multi-Tenant: Shared infrastructure
  • Examples: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce

Our Cloud Services

  • GitOps: Git-based deployment workflows

4. Cloud Security

Protect your cloud infrastructure:

  • Identity & Access Management: Role-based access control
  • Network Security: VPCs, security groups, firewalls
  • Encryption: Data at rest and in transit
  • Compliance: GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 compliance
  • Security Monitoring: Threat detection and response

5. Cloud Cost Optimization

Maximize ROI on cloud spending:

  • Right-Sizing: Match resources to actual needs
  • Reserved Instances: Commit for discounts
