What Startups Get with Vertro

Faster Platform Setup

Start with a production-ready Google Cloud and GKE foundation instead of spending months assembling it internally.

More Product Focus

Keep engineers focused on product development instead of infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment, and platform plumbing.

Security From Day One

Start with standardized identity, delivery, policy, and security controls already built into the platform foundation.

Avoid Early Hiring

Get the platform capabilities you need without hiring a dedicated platform engineering team too early.

From Request to Governed Delivery

See how Vertro turns Application onboarding into a standardized delivery path.

Follow the workflow automatically, or select any step to see how infrastructure, identity, secure delivery, and governance are applied.

Step 01

Request

A developer or platform user submits a standardized request for a new GCP project or Application.

What's actually happening

  • Developers or platform teams request a new GCP project or Application onboarding through Vertro portal.
  • Vertro validates the request and triggers the required approval workflow.
  • Requestors can track provisioning and deployment status in real time.
  • Approved requests are fulfilled through automated GCP provisioning or Application onboarding workflows.

Step 02

Provision

Approved Google Cloud infrastructure and platform configuration are generated through controlled workflows.

What's actually happening

  • Google Cloud projects, IAM, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager, Cloud Storage, Artifact Registry, and required labels are provisioned from approved patterns.
  • Application and infrastructure repositories are generated from Golden Path templates.
  • GKE namespaces, quotas, labels, service accounts, and baseline policies are configured for the Application.
  • Runtime access to Google Cloud resources is established through GKE Workload Identity Federation without long-lived service account keys.

Step 03

Wire CI/CD

A secure GitHub Actions delivery workflow is generated from approved platform templates.

What's actually happening

  • GitHub environments, required secrets, variables, and repository settings are configured for the Application delivery workflow.
  • GitHub Actions authenticates to Google Cloud through external Workload Identity Federation.
  • Private ARC runners execute workflows inside the Platform GKE environment.
  • Build, test, secret scanning, SAST, dependency scanning, IaC scanning, and container image scanning follow the standard delivery path.
  • Artifacts are pushed to Artifact Registry and identified by immutable image digest.

Step 04

Deploy

Applications are promoted to GKE through an approved GitOps delivery path.

What's actually happening

  • Helm packages the Application using the approved Workload Type and runtime configuration.
  • Argo CD reconciles the desired Application state into the target GKE Environment.
  • The same immutable artifact is promoted between Environments instead of being rebuilt.
  • Approvals and promotion controls can be applied before higher-risk Environment changes.

Step 05

Govern

Platform standards remain enforced after onboarding and deployment.

What's actually happening

  • Config Sync reconciles namespaces, quotas, labels, and platform configuration from Git.
  • Policy Controller enforces admission policies and blocks non-compliant changes where required.
  • Binary Authorization and artifact controls restrict deployment to approved images.
  • Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards provide visibility into Application and platform health.
  • Requests, pull requests, workflow results, approvals, policy decisions, and deployments create an auditable delivery trail.
