# Overview

DuploCloud is a platform that enables security and compliance for engineers and operators in organizations that host infrastructure on the public cloud. 

You provide high-level application specifications including cloud services, application containers, packages and configurations, interconnectivity, requirements for multiple environments, and scoped compliance standards. DuploCloud uses these specifications to auto-generate required lower-level configurations, provisioning them in a secure and compliant manner, while maintaining their ongoing operations. 

In addition, logging, monitoring, alerting, and reporting of the provisioned system are enabled. The following figure shows the various functions provided by the platform.

DuploCloud is a single-tenant software platform installed in the customer's cloud account. The customer interfaces with DuploCloud via the browser UI, the DuploCloud Terraform provider, and/or API calls while the data and configuration stay within the customer's cloud account. All configurations created and applied by DuploCloud can be reviewed and edited in the customer's cloud account.
