What is CloudRay?
CloudRay lets you manage your cloud servers using Bash scripts in a secure, centralised platform. It eliminates the need to log into each server individually by unifying script execution, credential management, and automation into one user-friendly interface.
Using CloudRay, you can:
- Centralise script management across multiple servers.
- Automate tasks and workflows with scheduling and script playlists.
- Securely handle credentials and environment variables.
- Monitor logs in real-time and streamline your DevOps processes.
Why CloudRay?
You might be wondering, “Why use CloudRay when I can just run Bash scripts directly on my servers via SSH?”
It’s a great question! If you’re familiar with Bash scripts, you know how powerful and flexible they are. But managing those scripts across multiple servers, for different clients or applications, can quickly become complex and time-consuming.
That’s where CloudRay comes in.
- Eliminate the SSH Shuffle: Stop logging into individual servers to run scripts. CloudRay provides a centralised platform to manage and execute scripts across your entire infrastructure.
- Maximise Script Reusability: Instead of writing nearly identical scripts for different servers or applications, use CloudRay’s powerful templating and variable management to adapt and reuse scripts effortlessly.
- Manage Sensitive Data Securely: Store and use environment variables and secrets directly within your scripts. CloudRay ensures these values remain encrypted and protected.
- Gain Real-time Visibility: Monitor script execution in real-time with detailed logs, output streams, and performance metrics. No more guessing or waiting to see if your scripts are running correctly.
- Orchestrate Complex Workflows: Easily chain multiple scripts together into a Script Playlist to create sophisticated automation sequences.
- Collaborate with Your Team: Enable seamless collaboration on script development, execution, and monitoring. Grant team members the ability to run scripts without direct server access.
- Maintain a Comprehensive Audit Trail: Track every script execution, output, and user action for enhanced security and compliance.
- Integrate with Your Favourite Tools: Trigger scripts based on external events using webhooks. Connect with GitHub, monitoring tools, or any other service that sends webhooks.
- Notify External Services: Trigger notifications to third-party services like Slack or email when scripts succeed or fail.
- Schedule Recurring Tasks with Ease: Automate routine tasks like backups, maintenance, or deployments with flexible scheduling options.
- Create Custom Shortcuts: Use Quick Actions to define shortcuts to frequently used actions, such as deploying to production with a single click.
In essence, CloudRay takes the power and flexibility of Bash scripts and adds a layer of management, automation, and reliability.
CloudRay also offers:
- Unlimited team members
- Pay-as-you-go pricing
- Easy downgrades, no commitment required
What’s on the CloudRay Roadmap?
We’re constantly working to improve CloudRay and add new features based on your feedback. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming soon:
- Web Terminal Access: Access any of your cloud servers directly from a web-based terminal within CloudRay.
- Automated Server Provisioning: Simplify server setup and management with automated provisioning capabilities.
- Ephemeral Environments: Spin up temporary servers for testing, development, or specific tasks.
- Firewall Support: Securely access and manage servers behind firewalls.
