Clouds and Light offers LightPane, a cloud infrastructure visibility platform that discovers resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure in under five seconds and displays them in shareable, embeddable panes. The platform uses read-only access to provide a live view of running infrastructure, making cloud data accessible to engineers, compliance teams, and project managers without complex consoles or command-line tools. LightPane supports access keys with origin, IP, and service constraints for secure embedding in web pages and internal tools.

Problem
Cloud infrastructure data is locked inside complex consoles and command-line tools, making it difficult for teams to quickly access, share, and act on information about their running environments. This slows down incident response, complicates compliance audits, and obscures visibility for non-technical stakeholders who need to understand cloud infrastructure.
Solution
Clouds and Light provides LightPane, a cloud infrastructure visibility platform that discovers resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure in under five seconds and displays them in a clear, shareable interface. LightPane uses read-only access to continuously capture the latest state of a customer's environment, eliminating the need for manual data gathering or complex tooling. The platform allows users to create embeddable panes that can be displayed on web pages or internal tools, making cloud data accessible to anyone who needs it. This approach bridges the gap between technical cloud data and the broader team, enabling faster decision-making and clearer communication.
Target Audience
Primary users are engineers on incident calls, compliance teams responding to audits, project managers tracking migrations, and leaders assessing cloud risk, who need a fast, accessible view of their cloud infrastructure.
