One tiny misconfiguration and BAM! 💥 You're suddenly looking at: • Downtime (𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰, 3 𝘈𝘔 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦-𝘶𝘱 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴.) • Costs spiraling out of control (𝘣𝘺𝘦 𝘣𝘺𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘵!) • Compromised data (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯!) • Unplanned work (𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥...) Now, multiply that by multiple accounts and cloud providers. Feeling overwhelmed yet? Enter Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It promised us: ✅ Standardization ✅ Automation ✅ Reproducibility ✅ Predictability But did it 𝕤𝕠𝕝𝕧𝕖 cloud complexity? *Dramatic pause* Not really. Now, we're wrestling with: • Drift (𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘺 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥) • Unmanaged resources • Legacy apps throwing tantrums • Multiple IaC solutions (𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘹?) • Knowledge gaps wider than the Grand Canyon • Orchestration nightmares If these headaches sound all too familiar, there's a simple way to gain control over your cloud operations and, finally, sleep peacefully at night. ☁ That's Firefly (try it for yourself at try dot firefly dot ai) #PlatformEngineering #DevOps #InfrastructureAsCode #Firefly #CloudComplexity #CloudAssetManagement P.S. Tag an engineer who gets it (and maybe is even ISO a solution)! 😎
