I used to spend hours juggling IP addresses, passwords, and other information just to make sure my team could connect to our cloud resources. It kept me up at night. It caused phone calls at 6 a.m. CLOUDFlex solved all that.
TL;DR
When you’re running machines in AWS for live production: vMix rigs, graphics servers, audio mixers-everyone on your team needs rock-solid, instant access. But the reality is:
- Every new instance comes with its own public IP (and costs).
- Firewall rules need tweaking the moment you spin up a test server.
- Password spreadsheets get out of sync.
- “Hey, can you DM me the Parsec creds?” becomes your new ringtone, and causes more security issues.
That scramble kills your focus, costs you extra hours in setup, and worst of all exposes you to security slip-ups. If your TD or A1 can’t connect instantly, your show stalls.
Viewers get twitchy.
Clients get nervous.
Why This Matters
Imagine it’s show day. You’ve coordinated remote camera feeds, SRT links from your field producers, and a 30-minute call with the corporate marketing lead. Suddenly, your engineer can’t reach the graphics server because the IP changed when you started that instance.
Now you’re typing firewall rules in a panic, while your director’s email pings:
“We’re going live in 10 minutes—what’s the holdup?”
That’s a nightmare nobody wants to relive.
And it’s exactly why we built CLOUDFlex.
What CLOUDFlex Does
CLOUDFlex makes sharing access to cloud machines as simple as adding a teammate’s email address.
No more IP-hunting, no more VPN contortions, no more midnight support calls.
Here’s How
- Invite anyone on your team with a click.
- Assign them “Viewer,” “Operator,” or “Admin” roles.
- They receive a secure sign-up link—no passwords to copy.
- CLOUDFlex automatically display the instance, with one-click to connect.
It's true Pay-as-you-go cloud production.
Let us manage the resources or bring your own AWS account.

What This Means for You
- Less Headaches: No more “I can't conect” emails.
- More Uptime: Faster access means fewer delays.
