CloudBolt is a hybrid cloud management platform developed by CloudBolt Software for deploying and managing virtual machines (VMs), applications, and other IT resources, both in public clouds (e.g., AWS, MS Azure, GCP) and in private data centers (e.g., VMware, OpenStack).

[1] The platform was developed by Alexandre Augusto "Auggy" da Rocha and Bernard Sanders.

da Rocha began work on a prototype of the platform in 2010, calling it SmartCloud 1.0.

[citation needed] The early version focused on simple installs and upgrades of virtual machines, and building an extensible product that customers could use as a platform for integrating with other technologies.

Product Timeline: The company received Series A funding from Insight Venture Partners in July 2018.
