Customer story
Cloudgeni at Norsk Hydro
How one of Europe's largest industrial groups introduced governed agents to manage cloud operations across security, cost and configuration.
"Cloudgeni gave us a way to act on cloud issues without growing the team or waiting for an external provider. Agents do the routine work; our engineers review and approve when needed. Exactly the control we were looking for."
The challenge
A large, multi-account estate running on manual capacity.
Hydro's cloud environment spans many accounts and regions, with security findings, cost optimisation opportunities and configuration drift appearing continuously. Addressing them depended on limited internal engineering capacity and external service providers — work moved at the speed of the next available ticket.
What Cloudgeni introduced
Scoped agents working inside Hydro's own process.
Agents were introduced with defined, scoped access to the cloud environment. They investigate security findings, identify cost optimisation opportunities and correct configuration drift — then surface every change through Hydro's own Git and approval process. Nothing reaches production without human review.
The impact
Measurable results since February 2026.
Agents now operate continuously across the estate, completing thousands of runs and raising reviewed pull requests — freeing engineering capacity for higher-value work while keeping full control of what changes and when.
