Cloud provider A1 Digital provides platform for fail-safe operation of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD)
Why Wintercloud chose Exoscale
Flexible and scalable IT infrastructure
The flexible and scalable IT infrastructure allows customers to leverage server capacity as needed, and only for as long as they need it.
Seamless integration
Wintercloud also saw a benefit in the ability to seamlessly integrate Exoscale into existing infrastructures through its open source approach. As part of its Managed Services (SaaS), wintercloud uses Exoscale to provide its customers Cloud Native and CI / CD at low cost and fail-safe operation.
Powerful servers
For example, the powerful servers in Exoscale can run automated software tests that provide customers and their developers with fast and reliable information about software quality. Another plus Exoscale is the on-demand pricing model.
Pricing model
Full advantage of the scalability in the cloud: there are only costs if the customer actually uses the infrastructure
"With our SaaS solutions, we use the scalability in the cloud to the fullest extent: There are only costs if the customer actually uses the infrastructure, e.g. performs automated tests. The famous thought experiment 'If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? for us in the cloud means 'If a service runs in the cloud and no one is around to use it, does it need to incur any costs?"
The Objective
The cloud and automation specialist has a strong focus on Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI / CD), a software development and delivery methodology that automatically delivers new software releases weekly, daily, or even several times a day. The shorter development cycles of mature software products to the end customer represents a clear competitive advantage and even more increases the confidence in the software by automatic quality assurance . Although multi-cloud strategies are highly popular with CTOs and CIOs, the challenge remains to combine different cloud providers in a technically useful way.
In the case of Exoscale, the Cloud and IoT service provider A1 Digital, wintercloud found the cloud hosting platform appropriate for its business model.
