Cloud operations glossary

The vocabulary behind the agentic platform for cloud operations — defined, and cross-linked.

Agentic platform for cloud operations
The category Glassity defines: AI agents that continuously run cloud operations work and maximize the business value of the cloud.
Business value of the cloud
The full return cloud delivers across four vectors: cost efficiency, operational resilience, smarter strategy, and smarter innovation.
Agentic FinOps
FinOps practiced by AI agents that execute the work — remediating, allocating, and verifying — not just dashboards that report on spend.
Cloud cost remediation
Actually fixing cloud waste — executing the change — rather than stopping at detection and leaving the work to a human queue.
PR-based remediation
Cloud fixes that arrive as pull requests engineers review and merge, keeping humans in control of every change to infrastructure.
Closed-loop billing verification
Counting a saving only after it shows up in the real AWS bill — not from an estimate or a projection.
Virtual tagging
Logical tags applied to every resource — including untagged ones — so cloud cost can be allocated accurately without touching the live infrastructure.
Per-customer knowledge vault
A retained, account-specific store of context that lets Glassity's agents make sharper cloud decisions over time, isolated to each customer.
FinOps maturity model
The Crawl, Walk, Run framework describing how organizations deepen FinOps practice from first visibility to continuous optimization.
Execution layer for cloud economics
An earlier way Glassity described itself — the phrase has since evolved into the agentic platform for cloud operations.
