Cloudtamer.io, a cloud governance platform company situated in Fulton, Maryland, announced that it has raised $9.5 million in series A funding led by Blue Heron Capital and TDF Ventures, with participation from Blu Venture Investors, Early Light Ventures, and Gaingels.
- Platform: Cloudtamer, which was founded in 2018, provides a set of governance services that can be used directly in Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts. Customers host the complete platform in own clouds, ensuring that their credentials and data remain secure.
- Spinout: “Cloudtamer was founded as a spinout from Stratus Solutions. I initially began my career working for a number of defense contracting organizations, and I first became exposed to the cloud at Booz Allen Hamilton, while the cloud was still in its infancy,” Price told VentureBeat via email
- Database: Cloudtamer’s backend database and web front-end app are set up quickly using AWS CloudFormation or Azure Resource Manager templates (depending on the cloud provider). Cloudtamer is installed and operated on a load-balanced set of instances with an AWS Aurora MySQL or Azure Database for MySQL database.
- Barriers: “I left Booz Allen Hamilton and began working at Stratus, where it became clear that cloud management and governance was a huge barrier to successful cloud operations for organizations”, said Price.
- Worth: “ In 2018, my cofounder Joseph Spurrier and I founded Cloudtamer and started with eight employees. Today, Cloudtamer combines cloud governance and cloud management to ensure that users get the full value of the cloud,” Price concluded in the email.
