Who is Cloudify?
Cloudify is a cloud orchestration and automation platform for modeling, deploying, and managing applications and network services across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
- Model-driven orchestration of applications and network services across public cloud, private cloud, and edge environments.
- EaaS automation for provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management of complex stacks.
- Support for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) workflows and integration with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and DevOps toolchains.
- Policy-based governance, day-2 operations, and multi-tenancy for enterprise and service provider use cases.
- Use of open standards, including Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) blueprints, for portable and reusable deployment templates.

More About Cloudify
Cloudify provides a cloud orchestration and automation platform (cloud management / DevOps automation) designed for enterprises and service providers that operate across multiple cloud and on-premises (on-prem) environments. The platform focuses on modeling complex applications and network services, automating their deployment, and managing their full lifecycle using a blueprint-driven approach that aims to keep environments consistent across heterogeneous infrastructure.
At the core of Cloudify’s offering is a model-based orchestration engine built around TOSCA blueprints (cloud orchestration / standards-based modeling). TOSCA, the TOSCA, is an OASIS standard that describes application topologies, their relationships, and operational workflows in a portable format. Cloudify uses these blueprints to define environments-as-a-service, including compute, networking, storage, middleware, and application components, enabling repeatable deployments across public clouds, private clouds, Kubernetes clusters, and edge locations where supported.
The platform is positioned for use in enterprise and telco-grade environments that require automation across multiple domains, such as infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and service chaining. Cloudify integrates with a range of underlying technologies and tools commonly used in DevOps pipelines, such as IaC frameworks, configuration management tools, and CI/CD systems. This integration allows teams to treat entire environments as reusable templates that can be instantiated, updated, or decommissioned via APIs, self-service portals, or pipeline steps, with lifecycle workflows managed centrally.
Cloudify also addresses ongoing operations, sometimes referred to as day-2 operations, by providing capabilities for monitoring-driven workflows, scaling, healing, and updates to running environments. Policy-based mechanisms and multi-tenancy enable enterprises and service providers to segment access, enforce standards, and manage shared infrastructure or shared services catalogs. These capabilities position Cloudify within marketplace categories such as cloud management platforms, EaaS, and orchestration for network functions and edge services.
From a technical perspective, Cloudify’s use of declarative blueprints and open APIs can help reduce coupling between application teams and specific cloud providers or tools. By abstracting deployment logic into TOSCA-based templates and orchestration workflows, organizations can define standardized patterns for common architectures, while still plugging into provider-specific services when needed. This approach aligns with enterprise architecture patterns that favor modularity, portability, and automation across hybrid and multi-cloud estates, and it supports scenarios ranging from dev/test sandboxes to complex production services operated at scale.
