Find quick answers about Fractal Cloud, how it works and how it supports your teams.
What is Fractal Cloud?
Fractal Cloud is a platform engineering solution that delivers secure, compliant infrastructure across any cloud. It gives developers ready-to-use building blocks and architecture templates, combining vendor-specific knowledge, security best practices, and automation by design. It removes the need for deep cloud specialization or costly custom development, while allowing operations teams to maintain control through centralized automation and governance.
What does "Code Faster, Run Anywhere" mean?
It means developers can launch production-grade infrastructure with minimal code, and deploy it consistently across AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI — without having to learn each cloud’s tools and practices.
What is a Fractal?
A Fractal is a reusable, governed, cloud-agnostic infrastructure construct that encapsulates both a Blueprint (the composition of components and their connections) and an Interface (the operations developers can perform). While a Fractal includes a blueprint as part of its structure, it goes beyond static definitions by enabling dynamic lifecycle actions. Developers can instantiate Fractals into Live Systems on demand.
What is a Live System?
A Live System is the running instance of a Fractal — deployed infrastructure on your cloud account that remains continuously governed and in sync with your policies. One Fractal can be instantiated multiple times, generarting multiple self-similar Live Systems.
What makes Fractal Cloud different from traditional Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approaches?
Fractal Cloud eliminates the need for handwritten IaC scripts by offering a Java SDK and pre-approved, composable modules maintained by platform teams. This enables faster, more consistent, and governed infrastructure delivery without relying on low-level scripting.
Can Fractal Cloud deploy to multiple cloud providers?
Yes. Fractal blueprints are cloud-agnostic and deployable to multiple providers without rewriting. Multi-cloud support is built in.
Do I need deep cloud skills to use Fractal Cloud?
No. Developers work with abstracted modules and APIs — no need to understand each provider’s CLI, templates, or IaC quirks.
Who typically uses Fractal Cloud?
Platform teams (e.g., CCoE) use it to build, approve, and publish Fractals. Application teams use it to deploy infrastructure. Operations teams use it to monitor and manage environments.
Cut the Wait. Reduce the Cost.Keep Control.
Fractal Cloud helps your teams deliver faster across any cloud—without the complexity.
