Spacelift

Leading online gaming operator Novibet needed a way to expand its #IaC capabilities to align with its ambitious growth strategy. They were managing their IaC with GitHub Actions, but they needed a centralized location where they could properly audit changes with policy-driven guardrails in place. They also wanted to be alerted when drift occurred in their infrastructure, in case changes were made outside Terraform. Thanks to Spacelift, Novibet has transformed the CI/CD and governance aspects of its Terraform setup. As Novibet Head of DevOps Kurt Azzopardi says "Spacelift is an essential tool for any growing company to govern its IaC with proper policy management and great visibility." Read the case study (in the comments) to find out why.

Adopting best practices for #IaC and leveraging tools like Spacelift can make it much easier for your team to manage infrastructure efficiently. In this post (linked in the comments), 🚀 Joey Stout explains how your organization can achieve greater consistency, security, and reliability in its infrastructure deployments by: ✅ organizing your repositories ✅ structuring your Spacelift setup thoughtfully ✅ fostering a culture of collaboration through effective communication and testing practices #infrastructureascode #devops #platformengineering

With all the talk about platform engineering, is it in danger of becoming just another buzzword? Not if it's recognized for its true power — a significant, strategic shift to a modern software delivery approach 🌟 In his blog post "Top 20 Platform Engineering Tools to Use in 2024" (linked in the comments), James Walker answers some important questions about platform engineering and presents a guide to the leading tools in the area: ✅ What does platform engineering do? ✅ What should you look for in a platform engineering tool? ✅ Top 20 platform engineering tools #infrastructureascode #devops #platformengineering #iac

Why is infrastructure compliance & security so hard with CI/CD tools? Infrastructure becomes increasingly vulnerable to risk the more complex it becomes. You need full visibility to ensure compliance and security as you scale, but adapting CI/CD tooling to manage your infrastructure involves a siloed approach that makes transparency virtually impossible 🤯 You have to deal with: ✔ Inadequate visibility: Collaboration, communication, and understanding become impossible. ✔ No access control models: Comments on pull requests drive infrastructure deployments. We've created "The Build vs. Buy Guide to Scaling Infrastructure as Code" (linked in the comments) to outline the challenges of IaC orchestration with CI/CD — and reveal the benefits of using a specialized platform. Here's challenge #3 of repurposing generic CI/CD tools for infrastructure management: ❌ Governance and policy enforcement

Does your CI/CD tool offer drift detection, cloud cost management, state management, and insights into the resource lifecycle? Didn't think so. But if you want to orchestrate your infrastructure efficiently, you'll need these capabilities. We've created The Build vs. Buy Guide to Scaling Infrastructure as Code (linked in the comments) to help you make an informed choice 📕 In the guide, we cover the three key shortcomings of generic CI/CD tools when repurposed for infrastructure management. Here's one: ❌ Lack of specialized features and poor visibility
