Challenges to better streamline development

About Cloud Automations...

  • Cloud Automation is a really powerful tool but can be heavily destructive if not used properly...
     
  • As of today we needed to have a DevOps engineer dealing with infrastructure changes due to the knowledge required

What if the infrastructure change is ...

  • Just a threshold update for an alarm ?
     
  • An additional networking link between two services ?
     
  • Trivial and can be safely done by Developers ?

Atlantis

Introducing Atlantis

Bring the benefits of code review to your operations workflow.

Developers can submit infrastructure code changes with DevOps approval.

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm.alarm will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "alarm" {
