Chris' Corner - April 2023

Chris' Corner - April 2023

In the second iteration of Chris’ Corner, we will review the features released in the month of March.
Share outputs between IaC stacks

Share outputs between IaC stacks

As our codebase becomes more complex, it often becomes an issue to maintain one IaC stack for our entire deployment, and we might think of splitting our IaC stack into smaller, more manageable components, with the relevant IaC for the job. The question is how can we pass outputs between deployment stacks? Read on to learn more.
Plan and Apply on PR

Plan and Apply on PR

Many organizations work almost exclusively in their VCS. For these types of GitOps-style workflows, having to change from their VCS to another platform to handle IaC deployments was both time consuming, and represented an unnecessary distraction. Now, with PR Comment Commands, DevOps engineering can seamlessly interact with their env0 IaC deployment and management platform without ever leaving GIT.

Chris' Corner - March 2023

The env0 team has been busy this year—learn more about our favorite env0 feature releases of 2023 so far, including Environment Locking, Remote Plans, Project Level Custom flows, and more.
Containerized Application Deployment to Amazon EKS

Containerized Application Deployment to Amazon EKS

In this tutorial we'll go over how to enable repeatable, effective, straightforward application deployments by automatically deploying Kubernetes resources to an Amazon EKS cluster. 
Deploying Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (AWS EKS) with Terraform

Deploying Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (AWS EKS) with Terraform

When you’re deploying any type of code, whether it’s application code or infrastructure code like Terraform, you want an automated way to deploy it. Aside from application and infrastructure automation workflow, you also want a way to manage certain aspects of how you’re deploying your environment. In this blog post, you’ll learn how to deploy an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster with Terraform using env0.
How to use Terraform locally with the env0 platform

How to use Terraform locally with the env0 platform

Under pressure to use an automated IaC tool but don’t want to deal with the overhead of pushing code for every change? Here’s a step-by-step look at how to use Terraform locally and still have access to all the benefits of the env0 platform.
Deploy Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS) with CloudFormation

Deploy Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS) with CloudFormation

For any infrastructure or cloud service deployment, organizations need a way to make the entire deployment process repeatable. In this blog post, you’ll learn how to combine AWS CloudFormation and env0 to create a production-driven experience for AWS Elastic Container Service Amazon ECS.
Infrastructure as Code is a Creative Job

Infrastructure as Code is a Creative Job

Some art forms are not appreciated for their aesthetic value, like music, or literature and poetry. Yet, some ways of sharing such artworks are with a written document, e.g. music sheets and lyrics pages for songs. These art forms evolved as well and new genres of the written word came to be. One of those genres is code.
How to integrate Azure DevOps with env0

How to integrate Azure DevOps with env0

Feature Release: env0 has released an integration with Azure DevOps, allowing teams to automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources directly from Azure DevOps. This integration is useful for implementing gitops workflows, providing self-service provisioning for developers, and enforcing governance and compliance controls.
Manage on-prem VMware vSphere with Terraform and env0

Manage on-prem VMware vSphere with Terraform and env0

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is widely used to deploy into clouds like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It can also be used to manage on-premises VMware vSphere infrastructure. This step-by-step walkthrough and video tutorial shows you how to use env0 with a self-hosted agent to manage on-premises VMware infrastructure directly.
How to Implement fine-grained Role-Based Access Control for Your Infrastructure as Code with Custom RBAC Roles

How to Implement fine-grained Role-Based Access Control for Your Infrastructure as Code with Custom RBAC Roles

In a world where infrastructure is constantly changing and evolving, it's more important than ever to have tight controls over who can make what changes. Granular RBAC allows you to give each user only the permissions they need to do their job, nothing more. This reduces the potential attack surface of your infrastructure and helps to prevent breaking changes.
You Need Audit Logs for Your Infrastructure as Code, and They’re Easy to Set Up

You Need Audit Logs for Your Infrastructure as Code, and They’re Easy to Set Up

In this post we’ll take a look at why auditing is necessary for Infrastructure as Code, the benefits of having an audit trail for Terraform and other IaC frameworks (such as Terragrunt, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and others), and share how you can automate your audit trail easily with env0.
Video Tutorial: How to Migrate from Atlantis to env0

Video Tutorial: How to Migrate from Atlantis to env0

In this video, we'll go through some background on Atlantis and then show you how to migrate from Atlantis to env0, including using the env0 remote backend for Terraform state storage.
CI/CD for App Development vs. CI/CD for Infrastructure as Code

CI/CD for App Development vs. CI/CD for Infrastructure as Code

The rise of Infrastructure as Code has revolutionized the management of infrastructure and the way we provision and maintain platforms for application deployment. Rather than manually deploying infrastructure through a CLI or GUI, we can now treat our infrastructure in the same way we treat our applications.
Manage Terraform Remote State Using Remote Backend

Manage Terraform Remote State Using Remote Backend

You can now use env0 as your remote backend for Terraform state storage, including migrating your existing remote state from other platforms to env0.
How to make managing multiple Terraform environments easier

How to make managing multiple Terraform environments easier

How many of you have started with Terraform and discovered you need the same code to build multiple environments? Perhaps a dev, stage, and production environment? After researching Workspaces, Branches, and Terragrunt, you aren’t completely satisfied and want to know if there is another way. If you are here, I’ll assume that’s you!

env0 Workflows Get a Power Up

Workflows solve the problem of provisioning complex infrastructure resources that have dependencies, and using multiple frameworks for your infrastructure-as-code.
DevOps, People, and Process

DevOps, People, and Process

Let us never forget that DevOps is about culture, people, and process, not just tools or technology. Software may enable good culture and behavior. But technology brings a benefit if and only if it diminishes a limitation. And the most important limitations to address are the explicit and implicit rules that uphold the status quo, or “doing it the way we always have.”
