Persona Guides
Aether Platform goes beyond providing a Cloud IDE; it is an “As Orchestrator Platform” that centrally integrates and manages distributed compute, AI, and network resources.
Furthermore, Aether adopts a “SaaS For SaaS” model, providing a robust foundation for rapidly launching and operating other SaaS businesses. This guide outlines how various personas—including Technical Founders and Platform Engineers—leverage our Platform Orchestration tools to build strategic technical foundations and demonstrate engineering excellence.
1. The Platform Lead (Governance & Scale)
Platform Leads are responsible for the infrastructure roadmap, cost control, and organizational efficiency.
Tactical Execution:
- Tenant Isolation: Define “Hard” vs “Soft” isolation models using our Multi-Tenancy engine.
- Resource Quotas: Prevent “noisy neighbor” problems with strict CPU/Memory limits per team.
- Billing Transparency: Export granular usage metrics to FinOps tools like Stripe or Metronome.
2. The DevSecOps Engineer (Trust & Compliance)
Security is the foundation of trust. DevSecOps teams use Aether to enforce policy without friction.
Tactical Execution:
- Zero-Trust Network Mesh (NCS): Automatically encrypt every packet with mTLS 1.3 using eBPF acceleration.
- Supply Chain Security: Enforce SBOM generation and vulnerability scanning (Snyk) at the build layer.
- Retroactive Connectivity: Securely connect modern cloud workspaces to on-premise legacy systems.
3. The AI/ML Engineer (Velocity & R&D)
AI Engineers focus on iteration speed. Aether eliminates driver management and infrastructure toil.
Tactical Execution:
- Future: GPU Orchestration: On-demand access to NVIDIA T4/A10G instances with GPU slicing.
- AetherTerm (Agent CLI): Automate complex DevOps workflows using natural language.
- Nix-based Reproducibility: Ensure bit-for-bit environment consistency across the research team.
