Cloud automation needs a new standard

Cloud computing has transformed how startups and SMBs build, deploy, and scale. But with this flexibility comes complexity. Managing cloud infrastructure, ensuring security, optimizing costs, and maintaining uptime demand both expertise and time. What if an AI could take over these tasks, not just suggesting actions, but executing them with precision?

Meet ACE, the first AI-powered cloud engineer. Developed by EZOps Cloud, based on nearly a decade of DevOps excellence, ACE is not a tool, it's an autonomous engineer. Idealized by our CEO, Thiago Maior, ACE is the result of years of real-world learning, designed to automate and secure cloud operations for fast-growing businesses.

"The future of DevOps is here. With ACE, we bring automation and intelligence together to help companies scale without limits". - Thiago Maior, CEO of EZOps Cloud

1. What is ACE?

ACE (Automated Cloud Engineer) is the world's first AI-driven cloud engineer capable of performing tasks across infrastructure, security, and operations autonomously. Unlike traditional tools that rely on manual triggers, ACE acts in real-time, making decisions and executing changes without human bottlenecks for the most part.

• Full Stack Engineer: maps infrastructure, sets up environments, generates code, and creates pull requests.

• Security Engineer: maintains environment integrity, enforces security policies, and prevents risks.

• Operational Engineer: monitors systems 24/7, handles alerts, and rebuilds infrastructure when necessary.

ACE integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and more, adapting to multi-cloud environments.

2. The innovation behind ACE: more than just AI

While many companies explore AI for analytics or recommendations, ACE is built to act. Trained on EZOps best practices, ACE combines advanced GenAI with expert DevOps knowledge, creating a unique solution that evolves with every task.

Key innovations:

• Autonomous execution: ACE performs tasks without waiting for human approval.

• 20+ layers of learning: multi-layered AI trained on real DevOps scenarios.

• Self-evolving: continuously improves through feedback and performance monitoring.

• EZOps intellectual property: proprietary technology, unique in the market.

"AI in DevOps is projected to grow by 25% annually through 2028, driven by the need for automation and speed." - Gartner, 2023

3. Why ACE matters for startups and SMBs

For tech leaders and CEOs of a scaling startup, the need to do more with less is constant. Hiring additional DevOps engineers isn't always feasible. ACE offers:

• Scalability without headcount: handle more projects without expanding your team.

• Faster development cycles: reduce delivery times from months to weeks.

• Cost savings: minimize manual work and cloud waste.

• Security compliance: stay aligned with industry standards automatically.

"Companies that embrace AI-driven DevOps reduce operational costs by 30-50%." - McKinsey, 2023 Cloud Insights

4. How ACE Works: core capabilities in action

ACE connects directly to your cloud environment, learns its structure, and begins optimizing from day one. Here's how:

• Infrastructure mapping: reduces manual mapping time with instant environment analysis.

• Code generation: creates and manages pull requests, integrating with CI/CD pipelines.

• Security enforcement: applies role-based policies, zero-trust architecture, and real-time threat detection.

• Operational monitoring: analyzes pipelines, alarms, and automatically resolves incidents.

"Zero-trust security is essential for modern cloud environments, ensuring strict access controls and real-time monitoring." - Forrester, Zero Trust Report, 2023

4.1 ACE in practice: real-time AI in action

Seeing ACE in action reveals just how transformative this AI-powered cloud engineer really is. In the demo, ACE seamlessly scans the cloud infrastructure, identifying components and dependencies within seconds; a task that typically takes human engineers hours.

ACE then proceeds to automatically adjust scaling settings, optimize resource allocation, and even execute configuration changes. One of the key highlights is how ACE generates and commits code directly into the CI/CD pipeline, pushing updates with zero manual intervention.

Throughout the process, ACE monitors for potential risks and prevents destructive actions, maintaining compliance with security policies. Every action is logged, audited, and executed based on pre-defined operational rules, ensuring both speed and safety.

This isn’t just automation: this is intelligent, autonomous cloud engineering.

5. Security at the core: four layers of protection

At EZOps, we know that trust is everything when it comes to automation. ACE was built with security-first principles, operating under a zero-trust model and multiple safeguards:

• Data isolation: client environments are fully separated and protected.

• Strict access control: role-based permissions ensure only authorized actions.

• AI behavior auditing: continuous tracking of all AI decisions.

• Real-time threat detection: AI monitors for anomalies and acts immediately.

"Organizations adopting zero-trust reduce breach impacts by 43%." - IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report, 2023

ACE doesn't just secure, it prevents. From anomaly detection to intelligent rollback strategies, every action is monitored and controlled.

Final thoughts: join the AI-powered cloud revolution

The future of cloud operations is autonomous, intelligent, and secure. ACE represents a shift in how we think about DevOps, offering businesses a way to scale efficiently without compromising on control or safety.

Developed by EZOps Cloud, based on nearly 10 years of expertise, ACE is not just a milestone for us: it’s a game-changer for the entire industry.
