ASC Cloud
ASC Cloud — Overview
AIARCO Software Cloud is the agent-first cloud: serverless functions, GPU pods, agent runtime, governance, all in one control plane.
ASC (AIARCO Software Cloud) is what you get when you take Modal's serverless ergonomics and extend them into the things every AI team needs but nobody else ships in one place: a real agent runtime, eval harness, governance (firewall · residency · audit · team), and a shield for the data lake.
The five primitives
asc functions— serverless code on Lambda or Fargateasc pods— long-lived GPU jobs on EC2 spotasc agents— first-class agent runtime with versioned prompts, tool registry, A/B routing, and tracingasc apps— typed function bundles with retries and.map()asc shield— S3 inventory + GOAT-Nano classifier + policy engine for PII / secrets / malware
Plus the cross-cutting surfaces:
asc gateway— single LLM endpoint with cost meteringasc evals— golden-set runner against any agent versionasc trace— unified read over agent + app runsasc governance— firewall, residency, audit, teamsasc browser— managed Chromium with CDP attach
Why ASC vs Modal
| Capability | ASC | Modal |
|---|---|---|
| Serverless functions | ✅ Lambda + Fargate | ✅ Modal sandboxes |
| GPU pods | ✅ EC2 spot | ✅ A100/H100 sandboxes |
| Agent runtime | ✅ first-class | ❌ build it yourself |
| Eval harness | ✅ first-class | ❌ |
| Unified trace | ✅ first-class | ❌ |
| Firewall / PII redaction | ✅ | ❌ |
| Residency policies | ✅ | ❌ |
| Append-only audit log | ✅ | ❌ |
| Per-team chargeback | ✅ | ⚠ basic |
| Shield (S3 classifier) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Open-source edge runtime | ✅ Apache-2.0 | ❌ |
| Pricing | usage + meter (transparent) | usage (similar shape) |
