Episode #14 - Enabling Collaborative IaC with specialized CICD

Ink8r (in·​cu·​ba·​tor) Podcast

Many, if not most, organizations operate as polyglots - polyglot environments, polyglot programming languages, polyglot persistence, and so on. Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) automation is no exception to this complexity with organizations often supporting polyglot IaC CICD tooling. Teams introduce this variability to achieve specific ends as some frameworks are great for one task but not another, so working with multiple platforms/frameworks enables developers to use the right tool for the job.

In this podcast episode, we speak with Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Spacelift, Marcin Wyszynski. Together we discuss how Spacelift can cull the digital Tower of Babel that comes with deploying and managing IaC in the enterprise. Spacelift provides a specialized IaC CICD platform with sophisticated state management and audit features for multiple frameworks such as Terraform, Pulumi, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, and soon Ansible. Through support for complex workflows, and a robust policy framework, Spacelift allows you to declare rules around account and project access, handling push notifications, starting runs, triggering tasks, and creating relationships between projects.
