2021 IaC Forecast: 5 Predictions for the Upcoming Year

I would like to start a tradition - I am going to gather all the discussions I had last year with customers, and will craft my predictions on how DevOps and related technologies will evolve and impact business in 2021.

Better Together: Checkov and env0

How to run Checkov after your Terraform Plan to shift-left security in your env0 deployments.

Feature Unlocked: Template Wizard

Hello, env0 fans! Here at env0 we are very focused on the user experience. We are always working to make the experience easier, faster, and more enjoyable. With that in mind, today we want to introduce the Template Wizard!

Time to DRY those IaC configurations with env0 and Terragrunt!

Hello, env0 and Terragrunt fans alike! It’s new-feature-day, yet again! But this time, we have something really special for you. We’re giving you the ability to completely change the game on the Infrastructure as Code files that you use to deploy and manage environments with our platform! Introducing remote-run support for Terragrunt workflows, now available in env0!

It’s notification time… Slack Notifications, that is!

No doubt you have probably at least heard of slack before. There are lots of apps and integrations with slack to help it be used as your one-stop-shop for all things with your teams. Well, as of right now, you can now enable env0 notifications right to any slack channel you want!

What does this update do? It’s a new feature!

Today, we would like to introduce the ability to easily enable Pull Request Plans! You’ll now be able to see what changes would be made to your infrastructure if you merged that branch, for any GitHub integrated repository.

New Feature Double-Header

Overview of the two new features just released: Environment Limits and Dropdown Variables. Two new features to help you with the governance of your Infrastructure as Code environment deployments. Environment limits, and dropdown variable lists!

env0: Now SOC 2 Type II Compliant

env0 is dedicated to bringing you the best platform to manage your Infrastructure as Code environments. We are a SaaS platform, which means you’ll be providing us access to sensitive credentials and data. We know that is a big responsibility, and we take that very seriously. We are pleased to have completed the process and obtained our SOC 2 Type II report.

Introducing… Teams, now available in env0!

Hello, env0 fans! I wanted to take a quick few minutes to introduce you to our newest feature… Teams! This is the latest addition to the ongoing improvement of our Role-Based Access Control in the env0 platform.

And the winner is… env0!

Hello, all! As you may have seen, I made a job change… Starting today! I left an awesome job as employee number 23-thousand-something at a large company that everyone in the industry was aware of, to start a new adventure as employee number 9 at a tiny startup that not so many people have heard of, yet. That company is env0!

We’re Opensourcing Terratag to Make Multicloud Resource Tagging Easier

env0 is open sourcing Terratag - a CLI tool that enables users of Terraform to automatically create and maintain tagging across their entire set of AWS, Azure, and GCP resources. It enables you to easily add dynamic tags to your existing Infrastructure-as-Code.

Making Continuous Deployment of Terraform code easier with env0

Implementing a Continuous Deployment flow is a very common and important way of allowing developers to be as productive as possible. In this guide I will show you how to easily create a CD pipeline using env0

Web Application Preview Environments

Per-pull request environments for the front-end are commonly called “Preview environments” and can be achieved in many ways, one of which is using Terraform. Rolling this out on your own, will give you better control over your infrastructure, allowing you to create preview environments which are closer to your production environment.

Introducing the env0 CLI

At env0 we know how important workflows are for developers, which is why we’re excited to announce the brand new env0 CLI! Just like our GUI at env0.com and our API, you can make use of the features and capabilities of env0 through the CLI to build your own perfect workflow.

Managing Kubernetes Environments using Namespaces and Terraform

Kubernetes is the "go to" for orchestrating containers but managing multiple environments in a single cluster can get tricky. We're diving into how you can easily use namespaces and Terraform to manage lots of environments for many users.

Why You Should Be Using Per-Pull Request Environments (and how!)

Thanks to Infrastructure as Code, it’s easy to get rid of your traditional staging environments and start using a dynamic, dedicated environment for each pull request. Adopting per-pull request environments will help you shorten feedback loops, reduce bottlenecks and conflicts, and increase your team’s velocity.

Introducing Environment Scheduling

Scheduling with env0 allows you to easily and consistently deploy, or destroy, your cloud environments on your pre-determined schedule, and with no manual intervention

Creating a Maintenance mode for your API Gateway with Terraform

In a modern application there’s also a public (or private) API that also needs to have a maintenance mode. Let’s see how we can do that using Terraform on API Gateway.

Introducing Cost Over Time

Giving your dev team the freedom to run cloud environments has never been easier, thanks to IaC and env0’s environments-as-a-service platform. Your developers will love the freedom of self-service cloud environments, your infrastructure team will love the governance, but how will your CFO react?

Building a "Maintenance Mode" with Terraform and Github Pages

Even the most highly available applications from the most experienced providers sometimes need to be able to be taken offline for a short period of time. Learn how to do it using Terraform and Github pages.

How Infrastructure as Code is (forcing) a Revolution in Cost Management

With Infrastructure as Code (IaC) driving the third datacenter revolution it's creating a whole new need and approach to cost visibility and management.

Why I'm Joining env0

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m joining env0 full time as COO to help Ohad, Omry, and the rest of the team bring the combination of self service and governance to every company’s infrastructure as code deployments!
