1. What does FluidCloud do?

FluidCloud is a multi-cloud infrastructure platform that addresses the age-old problem of cloud vendor lock‑in by reverse‑engineering your existing cloud infrastructure into a standard Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) format. With its patented Cloud CloningTM technology, FluidCloud enables teams to replicate, migrate, and optimize workloads across any supported cloud provider in minutes (not months).  FluidCloud also centralizes governance, compliance, cost management, and drift detection in a unified interface. 

It delivers three core capabilities:

• Lightning-fast portability of workloads between clouds, regions, and accounts.

• Resiliency by default, with native redundancy and instant “shift-left” disaster recovery

• Unified governance, powered by AI, for real‑time visibility into compliance, drift, cost, and best practice

2. What is "Cloud Cloning"?

"Cloud Cloning" is FluidCloud’s signature capability— automatically replicating your infrastructure stack (compute, networking, storage, IAM, policies, databases, etc.) into a cloud‑agnostic, IaC‑based format. This allows you to redeploy or migrate full environments into different cloud platforms in minutes.

3. Where is FluidCloud used?

FluidClouds is deployed by enterprises with complex multi‑cloud or VMware-based infrastructures seeking true cloud agility and resilience.

4. I already use Terraform. Why would I need FluidCloud?

FluidCloud enhances Terraform’s IaC tooling by automating reverse-engineering of live environments and translating them into a universal intermediate representation. This enables true portability across cloud providers and eliminates manual redefinition of infrastructure.

5. I already use Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, or ARM Templates. Why would I need FluidCloud?

FluidCloud is complementary to whatever infrastructure automation tools you are already using. . FluidCloud automates full-stack cloning and conversion, eliminating manual nuances and ensuring high-fidelity, cross-cloud portability with zero scripting required.

6: How does FluidCloud relate to Kubernetes?
FluidCloud itself does not directly manage Kubernetes cluster workloads—it focuses on cloning, migrating, and governing the underlying infrastructure across multiple clouds including the Kubernetes cluster configuration done at the cloud provider layer. FluidCloud greatly benefits Kubernetes users by enabling seamless portability and resilience for the cloud infrastructure that hosts Kubernetes clusters.

That said, FluidCloud should not be confused with Fluid, the CNCF project, which is a Kubernetes-native distributed dataset orchestrator aimed at accelerating storage and data access within Kubernetes.

6. How long does migration take with FluidCloud? What else will I need to do?

FluidCloud shrinks daunting, months-long migrations into minutes or days with its one-click Cloud Cloning™ and AI automation. Cloud migrations often have three separate layers: infrastructure, data, and applications. FluidCloud focuses primarily on the infrastructure layer. After cloning your infrastructure with FluidCloud, you now have a cloud landing zone that is ready for your application data – typically in storage volumes, object storage,  and database backups. Once your data is ready in your destination cloud, then you set up the application layer.  Now the application is ready to be validated and you can optionally decommission the old environment.

7. Is FluidCloud suitable for businesses of all sizes?

FluidCloud begins providing value to cloud accounts even with a relatively small number of cloud resources by providing visibility, ongoing backups, cost, and compliance findings automatically without any user action required. These same benefits are multiplied in larger organizations as the number of cloud accounts and cloud resources scale much higher.

8. What cloud environments does FluidCloud support today?

FluidCloud supports a robust list of cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, VMware, Vultr, Nutanix, and OVH. Contact us if you want to explore expanding support for additional cloud providers.

9. How does FluidCloud help inventory my cloud environment?

FluidCloud uses a high-speed discovery engine that invokes cloud list and describe APIs to build a live inventory of your multi-cloud infrastructure—including compute, storage, VPCs, IAM, policies, and more—in seconds, often scanning 50,000 resources in just 15 seconds.

10. How does FluidCloud support disaster recovery?

FluidCloud provides "shift-left" disaster recovery via real-time snapshots of infrastructure, enabling failovers and rollbacks across accounts, regions, or providers in minutes. You can sandbox or test changes without risk to production.

11. How does FluidCloud ensure data security and confidentiality?

FluidCloud embeds automated governance and compliance, supporting frameworks like CIS, NIST, SOC 2, GDPR, and custom policies, with live compliance scoring and reports across all infrastructure changes.

12. What about cost optimization and FinOps?

FluidCloud offers continuous cost visibility across cloud environments—aggregating spend, forecasting monthly costs, and suggesting migration paths to optimize for price and performance. It enables actionable FinOps by empowering real-time infrastructure reallocation.

13. How does FluidCloud support unified governance and compliance?

The platform features an AI-powered governance layer offering real-time compliance scoring, drift detection, usage monitoring, cost efficiency metrics, and best-practice alerts—all visible in a unified control plane. It provides granular filtering and drill-downs by asset type, region, cloud provider, and account, making governance simpler and more actionable.

14. What does "resiliency by default" mean in FluidCloud?
FluidCloud embeds native infrastructure redundancy into your workflows: by automatically cloning full-stack configurations, including compute, network, storage, IAM, and policies, it ensures that backup environments can be instantly spun up. This uptime-focused design underpins its “resiliency by default” approach.

15. How fast is migration and cloning with FluidCloud?
FluidCloud converts infrastructure migration timelines from months to minutes or hours, thanks to its patented IaC translation engine and rapid discovery capabilities. Customers report that what once took months can now complete in mere hours.

16. Who are the investors behind FluidCloud, and what’s their vision?
FluidCloud secured $8.1 million in seed funding from Unusual Ventures and U First Capital. Unusual Ventures emphasizes that in the AI-era, infrastructure needs to be mobile—“frequently and intelligently moving based on cost, latency, performance, and availability.” They foresee FluidCloud becoming foundational infrastructure for dynamic, multi-cloud workloads.
