Astreya Introduces Innovative CloudCoach and CloudCrew Solutions to Enhance Cloud Risk Management

Astreya Unveils CloudCoach and CloudCrew to Revolutionize Cloud Management

In an era where cloud technology plays an instrumental role in business operations, Astreya, a leading provider of AI-powered IT managed services and a subsidiary of Cognizant, has taken a bold step forward. On November 10, 2026, the company announced the launch of two groundbreaking solutions: CloudCoach and CloudCrew. Designed to address the challenges enterprises face regarding cloud risk management and deployment, these tools mark a significant evolution in how organizations engage with cloud technology.

The Challenge of Cloud Management

For many enterprises, the proliferation of cloud services has presented a double-edged sword. On one side, visibility into cloud infrastructure has increased; on the other hand, the sheer volume of data points can create confusion and mismanagement. Astreya observes that while many organizations have invested heavily to gain visibility over cloud spend and activities, they still often lack a coherent strategy for action. This disconnect leads to missed opportunities for risk mitigation and remediation.

CEO Romil Bahl succinctly stated, “Enterprises have spent the past several years buying visibility into their cloud spend, and most now have plenty of it—what they still lack is a dependable path from knowing to doing.” To remedy this gap, Astreya developed CloudCoach and CloudCrew, tools that facilitate managed execution across cloud environments.

Exploring CloudCoach

CloudCoach serves as a continuous posture management service compatible with leading cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. The software performs over 520 automated checks, benchmarking against established frameworks like CIS and NIST. With this capability, it enables IT teams to visualize their cloud estate efficiently, identifying risks and vulnerabilities in real-time.

What distinguishes CloudCoach is its ability to prioritize findings. The platform assigns ownership and next steps to each identified issue. Additionally, the innovative Coach-AI feature integrates guided remediation, breaking down complex issues into manageable steps tailored to each engineer’s needs. This ensures accountability and provides a clear trajectory for improvement.

CloudCoach amalgamates findings from various platforms into a single, coherent dashboard, allowing organizations to view posture and ownership holistically. The timestamped records of checks offer vital audit trails that strengthen compliance and governance.

Introducing CloudCrew

While CloudCoach helps enterprises identify and prioritize risks, CloudCrew addresses the execution side of cloud management. This intent-driven infrastructure engineering platform seamlessly translates infrastructure requests into production-ready deployments. It does this by confirming scope, determining which components to create or reutilize, and enforcing compliance throughout the build process.

Unlike traditional approaches where compliance checks are typically made post-deployment, CloudCrew incorporates validation at every step. This proactive methodology ensures that non-compliant changes are halted before they can enter the system, significantly reducing potential issues down the line. The results are structured deliverables, presented as validated Terraform or OpenTofu, that integrate into existing customer version control systems.

A Partnership for Success

CloudCoach and CloudCrew were developed based on Astreya’s internal experiences. Each solution encapsulates lessons learned from real-world engagements, ensuring that users can benefit from proven practices developed by the team itself. With insights gained from managing sophisticated, multi-cloud environments, both tools were built to support what engineers truly need.

As noted by Abhilash Mana, Senior Vice President of Practices and Technology at Astreya, “These solutions started as tools our own delivery teams built because the work demanded it.” The emphasis on practical applicability is what sets these products apart, as they are designed to not just identify problems but also deliver actionable solutions.

Availability and Onboarding

CloudCoach and CloudCrew are now available for enterprises, with onboarding processes tailored to each organization’s specific needs. Early findings and governed changes are expected to be implemented within weeks, exemplifying a swift transition to improved cloud management.
