User-friendly, role-based access control in the Developer Experience Platform makes it easier to collaborate on apps. All developer tasks can be handled efficiently in one central place, which increases productivity. ### Lead Developer ### Lead Developer As a Lead Developer, you don't want to spend time on lengthy cloud infrastructure configuration and would rather start coding right away. Container8 provides pre-built templates that let you create cloud infrastructure automatically and get going immediately. ### Departement Leads ### Department Leader As Department Leader, you get better visibility into projected and actual costs through a cost report displayed in Confluence. That way you always have an overview of what liabilities are really accruing, which accounts are causing costs at what level, and whether certain accounts are still needed at all. ### IT Security Manager ### IT Security Manager The cloud accounts and infrastructure templates available through Container8 are configured according to the latest security standards and are visible to the IT Security Manager. This lets them support the IT Platform Teams in keeping developer resources secure, and trust that the cloud accounts and apps built on them pose no security risks. ### Compliance Manager ### Compliance Manager As Compliance Manager, you can trace at any time which employee has access to which systems and accounts, who made which changes, and why access to a particular account was granted. Adjust access rights directly in Jira or Jira Service Management and sync them with your Active Directory database. ### IT Platform Teams ### IT Platform Developer As an IT Platform Developer or team, you provide configured templates that your users can use directly. You publish the templates in your knowledge base or embed them directly in the Developer Experience Platform, automating recurring tasks, scaling resources and creating more security and compliance. ## Results you can expect - -30 Days reduced infrastructure provisioning time - +30% faster release cycles - +40% higher cloud adoption rate ## Automated provisioning Automate provisioning processes for infrastructure, such as cloud accounts and cloud workloads. Automation reduces provisioning time from weeks to hours and minimizes the errors that can occur with manual processes. ## Ready-to-use app and infrastructure templates Our Developer Experience Platform offers a library of infrastructure templates with a compliance-conformant security baseline and essential development components for a simplified project start, letting IT teams focus fully on development. ## Integration with existing infrastructure Container8 fits seamlessly into existing IT landscapes, including Jira, Jira Service Management, security platforms, code repositories and CI/CD tools. ## Role-specific access The Developer Experience Platform integrates seamlessly with your Azure Directory or access rights model and can be set up based on the roles of your team members. That way, authorized users get access to sensitive resources while security and compliance are maintained. A transparent log is also available, showing who created an application, who made which changes, and why a user was granted access rights.
