Shoreline provides real-time automation and control for cloud operations. Operations teams are under pressure to deliver higher and higher standards of availability, but this is impossible to achieve by fixing incidents manually. Achieving high availability requires automated remediation, but today automating fixes can take months. There’s got to be a better way. Shoreline makes it easy for operators to create automated remediations for well-known issues. You define the behavior for a single host, and Shoreline scales it out across your fleet, dealing with network faults, propagating configs, handling failures, and auditing execution. Anything you can type at the Linux command prompt, including calls to your cloud provider, Kubernetes CLI, or your own shell scripts, you can orchestrate with Shoreline. Think Splunk without lag and with the ability to take action on your system. Shoreline’s approach is built on the experience of operators who built automations to ensure the reliability of millions of instances at major cloud providers.

Since 2012, World View has led the way in remote sensing and Earth observation from stratospheric high-altitude platforms (HAPs), with demonstrated accomplishments for a variety of scientific, commercial and government organizations. Our proprietary stratospheric balloon flight technology delivers better insights with far lower costs and lead times than satellites and other traditional aerial sources. World View’s remotely-navigated Stratollite® flies five times closer to Earth than a satellite, capturing high-resolution imagery with much greater detail. And since it can persist over an area for weeks at a time, it provides a clearer picture of changes on the ground than a satellite that only flies over the area at the same time every day. Our high-resolution electro-optical, infrared, radar, hyperspectral, radio relay, and other remote sensing capabilities can deliver a wealth of insights across a range of applications. From helping agricultural yields to less-invasive energy and mineral exploration to tracking wildfires, storm systems and greenhouse gases.
