Today\u2019s startups aren\u2019t just building products\u2014they\u2019re architecting entire engineering workflows in the cloud, unlocking agility and speed that simply weren\u2019t possible a few years ago. We\u2019re seeing a big shift toward cloud-based high-performance computing for complex models and AI, plus growing use of containers and CI\/CD pipelines to automate and streamline development. MathWorks has ready-to-go deployment options, technical support, and integration with your existing IT systems\u2014so you can focus on moving quickly from idea to product without worrying about infrastructure. In this post, we\u2019ll walk through how to get MATLAB and Simulink up and running on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1172\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/startups\/files\/2025\/05\/Untitled-design-17.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"413\" \/><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Setting Up MATLAB and Simulink for Interactive Design and Development in Public Clouds<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1.\u202fChoose Your Cloud Provider<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MathWorks supports AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring flexibility based on your organization\u2019s cloud strategy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2.\u202fLeverage MathWorks Reference Architectures<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reference Architectures are pre-configured templates (available as CloudFormation or Azure Resource Manager that automate the deployment of MATLAB and Simulink environments.
