What is descant.cloud?
descant.cloud is a cloud management platform that enables your users to self-manage cloud resources in a simple and intuitive way.
It is built on top of Crossplane and extends its capabilities with a powerful abstraction layer that simplifies everyday operations and helps you avoid common pitfalls of using Crossplane directly.
It is designed to be used as a self-service platform, where one team, usually devops, creates reusable templates that can be consumed by other teams and users.
How descant.cloud supercharges your cloud management
descant.cloud supercharges your cloud management by enabling your users to create and manage cloud resources based on a service catalog of approved resources.
Your devops team can define resuable blueprints that fullfill your business neeeds, and these blueprints can be then easily consumed by your users without the need to understand the underlying cloud provider APIs and resources.
Moreover, devops team can update and extend these bluepints in the future, which will be automatically propagated to your users.
If you want to start quickly and deploy resources to Kubernetes cluster, descant.cloud provides the integration with Helm repositories with a Catalog feature, which helps you expose Helm charts to your users within minutes.

** Why the name of the product is "descant"? What does it mean?**
The name "descant" comes from the concept in music, which is a melody that interweaves with the main melody or is sung above the original melody. In the same way, descant.cloud is designed to enhance and complement underlying "melodies" of Crossplane and Argo Workflows, two projects that descant.cloud is built on top of.
