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.

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.

Recap: 2023 Infrastructure as Code Roundtable
A new year and tricky economic times seemed like the perfect opportunity to gather some IaC experts for a conversation about hiring challenges, where we’re headed, and doing more with less. In case you missed our webinar (link), here’s a bit of what I learned in my conversation with Brandt Meyers, enterprise architect with MGM Resorts International, Kat Cosgrove, lead developer advocate at Dell, and Chris Short, senior developer advocate at AWS.

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.

Top 4 Terraform Plugins to Integrate with your Infrastructure-as-Code Workflow in 2023
Terraform alone isn't enough. To ensure best practices, questions such as "How do we enforce policies?", "How do we lint our code?", and "How do we harden infrastructure security?" must be answered. Here are the top 4 essential Terraform tools that you should consider using in 2023 to enhance your infrastructure management process.

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 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!

Ad-hoc tasks
DevOps engineers sometimes need to perform one-off commands on their Terraform code or state. For example, “terraform import” or “terraform state rm”, or any other Terraform or bash commands. The problem is that it is dangerous to allow users to work directly from a terminal.

State File - What is it, and Where Do I Hide It?
If you have deployed anything with an Infrastructure as Code framework (Terraform, Pulumi, etc…) recently, then you have interacted with a state file, and may not have even known it! So, what is the state file? Why is it important? What should you do with it? These are some of the most asked questions when it comes to Infrastructure as Code management. So, let’s get into it!

Multi-Environment Deployment Workflow with env0’s Terraform Provider
Infrastructure is typically built up from multiple layers, starting with the network to the compute layer. In order to deploy your K8s cluster, you typically need your subnets and VPCs defined ahead of time. As I talk to customers about their IaC deployment challenges, I often get asked how env0 can help with orchestrating dependencies amongst these multi-tiered, multi-layered infrastructure deployments.
