🔐 Did you know? Orgs using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning see a 75% reduction in security and compliance issues. And still, misconfigurations, compliance violations, and runaway costs lurk behind 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 deployment. Best practice is to use different types of guardrails in your Terraform deployments, to prevent unintended or harmful configurations, like: ▶ Policy checks ▶ Cost management ▶ Tags coverage ▶ Resource enforcement Tools like Firefly simplify the process of implementing those guardrails. Firefly also integrates seamlessly with your existing workflows, and enables not just detection, but also automated 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of issues — done right. → Learn more from our blog post from guest author and Firefly Product Manager, Yuval Fatal: https://lnkd.in/g2YrrYkD

🏷️ Tagging Policies – our new framework that ensures all your cloud resources are tagged according to your organizational standards, automatically scanning your infrastructure to catch anything that’s missing the mark. Tagging Policies makes it simple to maintain accurate cost allocation, optimize resource management, and uphold compliance. Now, you can be confident that every asset is properly tagged, making resource tracking and governance a breeze. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebm-Jqzi

🔥 Picture this: Your production environment is on fire, costs are spiraling out of control, and compliance alarms are blaring. Your perfectly crafted infrastructure has become a nightmare overnight. The culprit? Silent configuration drift. It's a DevOps engineer's worst enemy, and it strikes when you least expect it. But here's the good news: you don't have to be caught off guard. Imagine a world where you can instantly detect drift across multiple clouds, automatically remediate issues, and maintain perfect alignment between your IaC and live environment. It's not just a dream — it's possible with Firefly. Don't let drift dictate your workday. Try Firefly to explore what’s possible and turn your cloud chaos into cloud confidence.

💭 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻: You should opt for your main CI/CD system to get everything that TACOS (Terraform Automation and Collaboration Software) provide — plus more. Here's Eran Bibi's POV on the how and why ⤵

Sefi, our dear friend and founder is gone for a year. A full year where we have missed him every day. For a year now, we've made every day count to make Sefi's vision come true. Today, Sefi's memory (and his clear and ambitious vision for Firefly) is what encourages us to go farther, to do more, and to stay motivated to achieve Sefi's dream for him, together. Sefi would have been extremely proud in our team, our brilliant technology, our achievements and Firefly's market dominance. We owe a piece of every win to what Sefi helped build, and we will always recognize and celebrate that. The Firefly team is motivated to make Sefi's dream a reality. We will continue to build, innovate, and lead in Sefi's memory.

Simplify the task of maintaining accurate IaC Coverage metrics. Seamlessly add 𝐈𝐚𝐂-𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞 - now, with a simple seamless action, you can exclude unmanaged assets that aren’t intended to be managed as IaC, directly from the Firefly interface. Now it’s easier than ever to ensure that only your relevant assets are tracked, and your reports are free from unnecessary noise. Cheers to keeping those IaC coverage metrics clean. 🥂

Brian Grant highlights some of the core challenges with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that go beyond the choice of language. The complexity vs. flexibility trade-off, configuration drift, and the overhead of managing IaC through traditional source control are all crucial issues. It’s clear that while IaC provides immense value, there’s room for innovation to address these pain points. As Brian mentions, tackling complexity and improving automation in IaC is critical, and solutions like Firefly are paving the way toward a more efficient future.

💭 Imagine if the tools used every day in DevOps—like Kubernetes, Open Policy Agent, or ArgoCD—could be transformed into human-like assistants. This is exactly the kind of innovation we are constantly exploring at Firefly. Read the latest article from Eran Bibi to explore some practical examples of how AI can be channeled for greater DevOps efficiencies (using our very open-source, AIaC, and the Kubernetes-focused k8sGPT that's quickly gaining momentum.) ⤵
