Welcome - Iron (Fe)
Humans First
The rise of DevOps has brought with it a renewed interest in operations work. There is no doubt that tremendous progress has been made on the design of systems. They are simpler, easier and faster to deploy and with care, easier to configure. However, this progress tends to stop at the designs of our systems, with very little progress on the user experience front.
The Iron platform puts the human back in the driver’s seat!
We embrace the role of both Dev AND Ops. By providing a superior user experience and having laser like focus on the interactions with systems, we see potential value for all the actors in a business, even those not traditionally in development roles.
We are extremely excited about our upcoming desktop console that will truly open the world of Ops to everyone!
Trust & Security
With years of operational experience, one thing kept popping up as the absolute productivity killer: Security! The days of tediously managing and securing your company’s secrets are over! Locker and the Tether Network give you true end-to-end encryption for both durable and realtime storage. No one - not even us - can access any of your group’s sensitive data.
The Iron platform has a simple security philosophy. Your data is yours. No one outside those you’ve explicitly trusted should EVER have access to it. That includes us. Iron’s unique storage and networking architecture allows you to have truly secure environments.
We’ve even eliminated the need to explicitly open ports to the internet!
Orchestration
Compose any task or workflow with ease. Iron’s core philosophy is to not impose particular solutions, but rather to allow you to accomplish your goals, your way. We provide the paint, but you’re the artist.
The Tether Shell is the cornerstone of our orchestration platform and delivers on its promise of putting truly secure, distributed operations in everyone’s hands. Never again struggle with SSH keys during deployments and get to work on actually managing and tuning your systems!
Configuration
File storage should be easy and secure. Locker gives you a zero-knowledge file repository that works for files of any type. Store secrets, share config, or stream data straight into Locker with one simple command!
We’ve tightly integrated Locker’s secure storage into our orchestration layer, giving you a powerful one-two punch for completing operational tasks.
Monitoring
Iron embraces a model of data-driven operations. Data is the universal constant among all systems, and it’s absolutely no exception in the operations realm. With Tether’s first class support for objects, gaining unparalleled insight into your infrastructure is just a basic query away!
