Upbound overview

What is Upbound?

Upbound is a cloud-based solution that empowers businesses to create internal developer platforms for automating and managing their infrastructure. With Upbound, companies can manage various infrastructure tools and vendors, simplifying the complexities of infrastructure management and optimizing their approach to cloud computing.

One of the standout features of Upbound is its ability to allow teams to customize the platform to their specific needs. With advanced features such as Git integration, control planes, multi-tenancy, control center, and flexible deployment options, users have the flexibility to tailor the platform to fit their unique requirements. This customization empowers businesses to have better control and visibility over their infrastructure. Upbound enables users to deploy workloads across different regions, zones, and vendors, giving them unparalleled flexibility and control over their infrastructure. This capability allows businesses to optimize their infrastructure setup and leverage the strengths of different providers to meet their specific needs.

For organizations with regulatory and compliance requirements, Upbound Spaces offers the option of self-hosted environments while providing the same features as their SaaS products. This ensures that businesses can remain compliant while taking advantage of the benefits of the Upbound platform. By automating infrastructure through managed control planes, Upbound eliminates configuration drift and provides a consolidated platform for managing applications and infrastructure.
