About The Cloud

There are a number of excellent competitors in the cloud computing / PaaS market. Three of the main options include Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services.

Though we are indeed a Microsoft & AWS Partners we are cloud agnostic. At Keyhole Software, we have used all three successfully in many projects.

What is the right fit for you might not be the right fit for other organizations. We can help your team to determine the correct cloud provider for your unique use cases.

To deliver the right applications for the business faster, with higher levels of quality and accountability
To understand the current state of their organization's infrastructure, code, data, DevOps, and team maturity and how each piece affects their roadmap to the cloud
To build offerings around web and mobile apps, application modernization, customer-facing apps, and app migration using the right solutions
To integrate development tools in an approach that drives productivity and agility—across development teams, apps, and release cycles
A flexible way to connect legacy applications with new—to interoperate, securely—to proactively support new business opportunities

How do I get more speed, agility and performance for my IT assets?
Is my organization ready for the cloud? If not, what steps do I need to take to get there?
What cloud offering is a better fit for me: Azure, Google Cloud, or Amazon Web Services?
How do I decide between hosted private cloud vs public cloud deployments?
How do I decide the first apps to take to cloud?
How do I train my staff after a cloud migration?
How do I control ‘shadow IT’, or ‘zombie apps’ or workloads that are consuming more resources than the value they are delivering?

In the beginning, there were physical machines. They were expensive and developers loaded them up with multiple applications to save costs. This caused no end of conflicts and unexpected bugs, yet effective machine utilization was still low.

Next up: virtual machines. Since multiple VMs could be run on a single physical box, developers installed their applications in contained VMs, which reduced conflicts and improved utilization. The downside of this was dealing with shared memory and unpredictable performance.

Enter the cloud. Companies could rent the virtual machines they needed, when they needed them. They could scale applications up and down on demand.

Today, more organizations are evaluating PaaS (Platform as a Service) and serverless approaches to application development, moving beyond cloud-hosted VMs, removing the need to manage servers and scalability challenges, and increasing the speed of the iterative development process.

“Serverless” computing is rising in popularity. Of course, servers are still used to execute code, but an additional layer of abstraction is added to remove the developer from any sort of server configuration. The service handles all the capacity, scaling, patching, and administration of the infrastructure to run your code. You are only charged for the compute time you use, and scaling is automatically handled to meet load demands.

Cloud-native systems are designed from the ground up to take full advantage of modern cloud platforms. By embracing technologies like containers, microservices, and serverless computing, these systems significantly improve agility, scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency.

With a cloud-native approach, your organization can rapidly respond to changing market demands, scale effortlessly with user traffic, and deploy new features faster through continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Because components are loosely coupled and independently deployable, failures are isolated—resulting in more resilient and reliable deployments.

Additionally, cloud-native systems optimize resource usage, reducing infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance. This enables teams to innovate faster, reduce technical debt, and maintain a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced digital environment.

Absolutely. At Keyhole Software, we specialize in designing cloud-agnostic and multi-cloud architectures that give organizations the flexibility to run their applications on the cloud provider—or providers—of their choice.

We help clients avoid vendor lock-in by building systems with portability in mind. Using technologies like Kubernetes, Docker containers, infrastructure as code, and open standards such as Terraform and OpenAPI, we ensure that your workloads can be seamlessly deployed across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or even private cloud environments.

Our engineers design these systems with interoperability and resilience at their core, enabling high availability and disaster recovery across cloud providers. Whether your organization is looking to distribute workloads, increase fault tolerance, or leverage the best features of each cloud platform, we can implement a strategy that aligns with your goals—without locking you into a single vendor ecosystem.

Ready to Go Cloud-Native?

Whether you're modernizing an existing application or building one from scratch, Keyhole Software can help you design and deliver cloud-native systems that scale and perform.
