ControlMonkey, a cloud automation platform focused on providing "Total Cloud Control with Terraform," has successfully raised $7 million in a seed funding round. This investment, led by Joule Ventures and Lool Ventures, will aid in the company’s global launch and support its efforts in product development, cloud governance enhancements, and strengthening engineering and customer success teams.
The founders, Ori Yemini and Aharon Twizer, are accomplished in the field, having previously contributed to the success of Spot.io, which was acquired by NetApp for $450 million in 2020. ControlMonkey is tailored to manage large-scale cloud infrastructure and aims to enhance productivity, speed up deployment, and minimize operational inefficiencies. Early adopters such as Intel, Square, Comcast, and NetApp have reported increased productivity by 30%, decreased deployment timelines by two-thirds, and reduced production tickets by 50%.
ControlMonkey’s strategic collaboration with AWS positions it as a versatile solution applicable across various industries. CEO Aharon Twizer expressed enthusiasm about the firm’s potential, comparing its impact on cloud management to that of JFrog and GitHub in software delivery. The funding will allow ControlMonkey to realize the benefits of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), providing businesses with the tools needed to reach their full capabilities.
The platform distinguishes itself through comprehensive, AI-driven cloud management features, which streamline the management of complex cloud infrastructures while ensuring precision and security. Some key capabilities include:
- AI-Powered Code Generation: Transforms existing infrastructure into verified, production-grade Terraform code, allowing for complete IaC coverage with a single action.
- Remediation Engine: Regularly scans code to identify and rectify issues like drift, security vulnerabilities, and cost inefficiencies.
- Infrastructure Disaster Recovery: Takes daily snapshots of cloud configurations to enable instant recovery to any point, thus mitigating the risks of major failures.
- Cloud Integrity Guarantee: Ensures 100% cloud integrity with comprehensive asset inventory, verification, and alerts for any deviations.
Additionally, the platform facilitates faster deployments through its QualityGate feature, which utilizes a library of blueprints, enabling teams to establish new cloud environments in just minutes—all without losing control over the process.
Maya Azoulay, a partner at Lool Ventures, highlighted ControlMonkey’s disruptive nature, noting that it stands alone in leveraging AI to deliver comprehensive cloud control at scale within a sector that faces over $140 billion in complexity annually. Along with Joule Ventures, several other prominent industry figures also participated in the funding round.
With this financial backing, ControlMonkey is well-positioned to revolutionize cloud management, striving to make the delivery of infrastructure as efficient and seamless as software development, while tackling the increasing challenges associated with modern cloud operations.
