Sharad Kumar & Harshit Omar, FluidCloud | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Mixture of Experts Series

In this Mixture of Experts segment from theCUBE + NYSE Wired, FluidCloud co-founders Sharad Kumar and Harshit Omar join theCUBE’s John Furrier to unpack how “cloud cloning” enables copy/paste replication of full infrastructure across clouds, accounts and regions. They describe FluidCloud’s claimed “world’s first cloud cloning platform,” built on deep, attribute-level mapping across providers and a pipeline that verifies API changes multiple times per day. The founders walk through read-only discovery, cloud-agnostic snapshots and a “time machine” roll-back for infrastructure – positioning the approach to address lock-in and sovereignty pressures intensified by Broadcom’s VMware moves and VCF 9.0’s private-cloud focus. They detail migration coverage in and out of VMware and across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OVHcloud and Vultr, with Nutanix and OCI coming online, while framing a path toward operationally seamless multi-cloud management.

Furrier presses on market dynamics at the intersection of tech and finance: Kumar and Omar outline a marketplace-style go-to-market that helps cloud providers, SIs and mature enterprises compress migration timelines and reduce resource constraints. They note customers in financial and healthcare sectors confronting cease-and-desist letters and reported 1,000% price hikes, and share that cloud providers see 20–25% of won deals canceled due to failed migrations – fueling demand for accurate, repeatable moves. Looking ahead, they highlight FluidCloud’s MCP-based multi-cloud agent and API surface that LLMs can call for workflows, with a north star of a “hypervisor across hyperscalers” – what theCUBE has long called supercloud. The founders also share funding details: an $8.1M seed round led by Unusual Ventures (John Vrionis) to scale execution and partnerships.
