CloudBolt signed a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services, and this move strengthens their ongoing relationship big time. Both companies now sync up sales teams, leaders, and tech efforts more closely. They focus on building, running, and tweaking workloads across AWS in cloud and container setups. Specifically, CloudBolt brings its StormForge product into the mix for Kubernetes optimization.
For starters, CloudBolt joins the AWS ISV Accelerate program fully. AWS runs this to help partners co-sell solutions that live on its platform. Customers grab CloudBolt’s tools right from AWS Marketplace, which speeds up buying and growth in hybrid, multi-cloud worlds. Meanwhile, CloudBolt keeps pushing its cloud management platform, FinOps features, and BillOps billing automation.
But here’s the real hook: StormForge tackles Kubernetes cluster bloat head-on. It scans setups, spots waste, and resizes everything smartly without endless tweaking. Teams handle both old VMs and containers better now. As Brendan Dolan, CloudBolt’s CFO, explained, “This SCA deepens our collaboration with AWS to help teams build faster, operate with stronger governance, and optimize at scale across both traditional and containerized workloads.” He stressed real-world fixes that cut daily hassles.
Every day, companies juggle a mess of public clouds, on-prem servers, and containers. Meanwhile, execs are pushing for tighter control and budgets that don’t spiral out of control. CloudBolt steps in with smart AI automation and upgrades that actually help. Details on the products? That’s a story for another day.
Plus, continuous improvements mean less waste and smoother operations. CloudBolt directly serves platform engineers, IT teams, FinOps experts, and finance pros. AWS stands out as the ideal landscape here. In the end, this partnership shapes sales and adoption through the Marketplace. As container sprawl intensifies, CloudBolt and AWS are stepping up to tame the hybrid cloud mess.
