With XOAP and our automation team working alongside you, we can solve one focused challenge such as:

• OS or cloud migrations (Windows 11, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Compliance issues (CIS, STIG, SiSyPHuS, and more)
• Cloud account hardening (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Automated image build pipelines (Cloud, vSphere, Nutanix)
• Standardized software packaging & deployment (PSADT v3 and v4)

Need something else? No problem. XOAP often delivers results with just a few clicks.

Both MCS and PVS focus solely on provisioning and rely on administrators to manually maintain master images and configurations.

However, most operational effort occurs before and after provisioning and includes:

• building images
• patching OS
• installing/updating apps
• maintaining best practices
• managing hybrid environments.

MCS and PVS do not automate image creation, application packaging, hybrid deployment, versioning or operational workflows, which leads to complexity, risk and increased cost as organizations scale.

XOAP can provision infrastructure, not just manage existing environments. It does this through Scripted Actions and prebuilt automation templates that let you create and configure:

• EC2 instances.
• IAM roles and policies.
• VPCs and security groups.
• S3 buckets and encryption settings.
• GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail and other AWS services.

Instead of declaring resources in HCL, you write scripts – or use ready-made ones available in your XOAP Workspace – that tell AWS exactly what to do, which gives you:

• More flexibility to define infrastructure your way.
• Easier cross-account and multi-region provisioning.
• The ability to use conditional logic, loops and dynamic inputs.
• Simpler onboarding with no need to learn Terraform internals.

XOAP can be your provisioning engine and your operations tool, especially if you prefer scripting over declarative IaC.

Provisioning a device is one thing; making sure it’s secure and compliant is another.

With XOAPs Configuration Management module, you can:

• Enforce CIS, STIG, or BSI compliance automatically during or after deployment
• Integrate Windows LAPS, firewall settings, and configuration policies by design
• Use configuration as code to ensure all systems remain aligned with security policies

This level of control goes far beyond what Autopilot alone provides.

When your data and services are spread across different platforms, keeping everything secure becomes more difficult. It’s also harder to meet privacy and compliance requirements, especially if your business operates in multiple regions.

Each place where data is stored or accessed is a potential risk. The more platforms you use, the harder it becomes to keep track of where your data is, who has access to it, and how it’s being protected.

On top of that, different countries and industries have their own rules for how data should be handled. If your systems aren’t aligned, you could accidentally fall out of compliance, leading to fines or data breaches.

The new reality of software delivery demands infrastructure that fits directly into automated workflows. Instead of provisioning being a separate task, it’s part of every commit, every pull request, and every deployment.

This has led to new expectations. Teams want infrastructure changes to be easy to review, easy to test, and easy to track. They want developers and operations to be able to contribute without deep knowledge of tooling. And they want infrastructure to follow the same principles as their application code: fast feedback, versioned history, and safe automation.
