Ankra is a Cloud Architecture Platform delivering best-practice plug and play cloud infrastructure. Our vision is to automate the DevOps role, by replacing infrastructure as code with infrastructure as platform. Anything that isn’t related to an organizations source code should not have to be configured or maintained by their developers. Ankra automates the configuration and maintenance of the developer life-cycle/Cloud infrastructure, end to end. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Every single business who is developing towards the cloud has this issue. The DevOps tools industry is estimated at 25B$ with a CAGR of 25%. The market is moving towards implementing devops practices with the utilization of putting people into their organizations to achieve desired results through DevOps Practices. It’s hard to implement, even harder to maintain. What the industry is currently trying to solve with manpower, Ankra solves with Code. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The Cloud-Infra Puzzle we're solving consists of three parts: 1. Complexity A good Cloud-Infrastructure setup for can take between 6-12 months to configure. Once set up resources has to be dedicated towards maintenance. Companies face the challenge of relying on specialized devops personnel to get this up and running and maintain it. 2. Cutting Corners Due to the complexity of infrastructure configuration businesses tend to take shortcuts which prevents them from scaling. Developers frequently have to re-align their focus to improve a poorly configured infrastructure. 3. Human dependency Developers become dependent on DevOps to interact with the infrastructure. If a business doesn't have DevOps, developers lose time as they have to "figure it out themselves", increasing an already strained cognitive load. If a business does have DevOps personnel, they are costly and frequently becomes a bottle-neck for shipping features. If the person who set up the infrastructure leaves, the business will be forced to: a) replace competence or upskill competence b) Rebuild Infrastructure with new competence. With Ankra you can have a cloud infrastructure up and running in an afternoon. Allowing developers to focus on building your business, undistracted. If a business needs coders it should be for developing core code, not for managing infrastructure. We provide the stack automated and free of maintenance. ___________________________________ After a decade of consulting in the DevOps space we realized that businesses were constantly re-building the wheel. We're inspired to building a standardized engine for all businesses to be able to scale. We're a team of tech enthusiasts who are excited to see just how far technological development will take us in our lifetime. The problem we're solving is a tide that would lift all boats, enabling software developing organizations to ship features faster, safer and with better insight.
