Drift is a fact of life in infrastructure management. But is it really that important? And what should you do about it? In "What is Configuration Drift? Tools, Causes & Risks," (link in the comments) Ioannis Moustakis discuss the chief causes of drift, the risks associated with it, and the best ways to detect and prevent it. Discover: ✅ What is configuration drift? ✅ Common configuration drift causes ✅ Risks associated with configuration drift ✅ Configuration drift examples ✅ Tools to detect and prevent configuration drift ✅ Best practices to minimize configuration drift #driftdetection #iac #infrastructureascode #devops #platformengineering

🇵🇱 Going to #DevOpsDays Warsaw? Spacelift is a Gold Sponsor 🌟 Enhanced efficiency, collaboration, security, and flexibility are all key components of a successful #DevOps strategy — they are also some of the key reasons customers use our platform to manage their IT infrastructure.  Let’s chat in Warsaw!

Using #Ansible to manage your infrastructure? In this blog post (linked in the comments), Ioannis Moustakis explores blocks, a way to group tasks in Ansible playbooks. He covers: ☑️ What are blocks in Ansible? ☑️ How to use blocks in Ansible playbooks? ☑️ Ansible blocks use case examples #devops #iac #infrastructureascode

Think you can set and forget your infrastructure? Think again... The actual state of your infrastructure probably differs from what you configured — creating drift that puts your applications at risk...

Relying on a small team of cloud platform engineers to manage infrastructure-as-code (#IaC) operations for the entire organization was creating bottlenecks for global identity security leader 1Password. However, since adopting the Spacelift platform, deployment frequency has soared from 3 or 4 max to an average of 60 — per day 📈 For Staff Cloud Platform Engineer Maxx D., the biggest win 1Password has seen with Spacelift has been the democratization of IaC to the broader engineering organization: "By using Spacelift's guardrails and security, we can confidently delegate much of IaC management to the individuals that own it." Read the case study (linked in the comments) to find out how they did it. #devops #iac #infrastructureorchestration

DevOps encourages collaboration between developers and operators — not just by changing culture but also by introducing automated tools and processes. So how do you build a #DevOps tech stack that works? In this article (linked in the comments), James Walker evaluates different tools to help you choose the best option for your workflows and outlines best practices to ensure your DevOps tech stack succeeds. #infrastructureascode #iac #platformengineering

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
