Astreya Launches CloudCoach and CloudCrew to Close the Gap Between Finding Cloud Risk and Fixing It

Two new AI-powered solutions give enterprise teams one ranked view of their cloud and Kubernetes estate, and a governed route to ship the fix.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Astreya, a Cognizant company and global provider of AI-powered IT managed services and digital transformation solutions, today announced the launch of two new solutions: Astreya CloudCoach, a continuous posture management service for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes — and Astreya CloudCrew, an intent-driven infrastructure engineering platform that turns infrastructure requests into governed, production-ready deployments.

For most enterprises today, follow-through is now a bigger issue than visibility when it comes to cloud. Cloud tools flag issues faster than teams can clear them, each one reporting in its own format on its own slice of the estate., and nobody can say which finding matters most, who owns it, or what the fix looks like. At the same time, the senior engineers best placed to act are busy building environments by hand, one project at a time, while standards drift between teams.

CloudCoach and CloudCrew were built to address both sides of that problem.

"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," says Romil Bahl, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Astreya. "With CloudCoach and CloudCrew, we are establishing governed execution across the cloud estate. We have built the assessment layer that ranks genuine risk and the build layer that closes the risks and gaps under the customer's own policy, so every change reaching production is prioritized, approved, and evidenced."

Find What Matters First

CloudCoach runs more than 520 automated checks against AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes, mapping the estate to CIS, NIST, and more than 15 other frameworks. Cloud accounts and clusters are assessed in the same view, so posture, ownership, and exposure line up instead of sitting in separate consoles.

Findings arrive ranked, with an owner and a next step attached. Coach-AI, the service's guided remediation layer, explains what changed, what it means, and where remediation should start. Guidance is written against the resource in front of the engineer, with the relevant best practice attached, and every check leaves a timestamped record, so the audit evidence exists before anyone asks for it, and leaders can see whether posture scores are actually improving quarter to quarter.

Customers keep their own cloud-native tools, pipelines, and ticketing, CloudCoach adds the assessment layer and the ranked roadmap on top.

Then Ship the Fix Without Losing Control

After an engineer describes the infrastructure outcome they need, CloudCrew confirms the scope, decides what to create and what to reuse, and builds the change from approved patterns.

What makes this approach unique is that network standards, encryption requirements, and compliance rules are enforced during the build itself, rather than being checked only after the infrastructure change has been generated. Anything non-compliant is stopped before it exists. The change arrives in the customer's own version control as validated Terraform or OpenTofu, ready for review, with a record of every check it passed and who approved it.

Every change moves through a controlled pipeline — test, staging, and production — with approvals tied to role and a complete audit trail of who made each change, when, and why. When a deployment does fail, CloudCrew names the likely cause (e.g., capacity limit, missing permission, version mismatch, something built in the wrong order) and proposes a fix for an engineer to approve. Every approved pattern is kept in the customer's private library, so the second request is faster than the first and the fiftieth is faster still.

Built by the People Who Run It

Both solutions came out of Astreya's own delivery work. CloudCrew is the platform Astreya's engineers use to deliver client infrastructure every day, and every guardrail in it exists because a real engagement needed one. CloudCoach's guidance is shaped by the same teams who run large multi-cloud and Kubernetes platforms at scale, which is why the fixes it suggests are ones a customer's team can build, run, and keep running.

"These solutions started as tools our own delivery teams built because the work demanded it," says Abhilash Mana, Senior Vice President, Practices and Technology, Astreya. "When you run cloud operations for some of the most demanding technology environments in the world, you learn quickly which guardrails matter and which findings are just noise. Every check in CloudCoach and every pattern in CloudCrew earned its place in a live customer environment first. That is the part you cannot shortcut, and it is why the engineers on the other side of the table trust what comes back."

The two solutions work together. CloudCoach names the misconfiguration and the control it breaks; CloudCrew builds the reviewable change that closes it. Both feed the wider Astreya stack, where AI OpsHub tracks the work with owners and SLA clocks, Pictor shows where it stalls, and Lynx tracks whether the fix held.

Availability

CloudCoach and CloudCrew are available now. Onboarding is tailored to each estate, with first findings and first governed changes typically landing within weeks.
