Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, Terragrunt, and AWS CloudFormation are critical to an organization’s infrastructure, and application development or delivery. IaC tools offer tremendous benefits, enabling rapid iteration, innovation, and agility. To maintain velocity, and continue recognizing IaC benefits, you eventually need to properly manage IaC as part of your SDLC.
env0 is here to help.
Applications aren’t monolithic anymore. Even relatively simple apps make use of advanced cloud infrastructure components like load balancing, geographical routing, microservices, containers, functions, and on-demand databases. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CloudFormation do a great job of describing and automating these complicated deployments.
But teams need ways to scale and manage their IaC tools, to help control access, empower end users, and broaden access to powerful automation tools.
Broader IaC participation
Increased accountability and compliance
Faster innovation
Decrease risk
Because IaC is the cornerstone in your organization’s IT infrastructure, you need to know everything about how, when, where, and who runs it. Transparency into every plan and deploy ensures you have the details needed to make important business and technical decisions, and enables you to control access and execution to protect critical resources—such as production infrastructure, applications, and access credentials
Full visibility into IaC deployments and changes
Dashboards
Cost management
Variable management
Policies and access controls

Security is paramount in every IT organization. Your IaC is no different. Once you have insight into all of your IaC runs, you need to ensure security policies and procedures are met each and every time, and that your IaC runs are happening safely and securely. Beyond using a SOC-2 certified platform, there are many additional capabilities necessary to keep your Infrastructure as Code well controlled.
SOC-2-certified platform - Meet vendor compliance requirements
Single-sign on / tie into existing AD, SAML, OIDC, or LDAP - Use your existing source of truth
Secure credential management (including AWS Assume Role) - Keep your secrets a secret while permitting their use by authorized users
Custom workflows with built-in restrictions - Ensure certain deployment steps are always followed
Private provider and module registries - Keep potentially sensitive code private to your organization
Private provider and module registries - Keep potentially sensitive code private to your organization
On-premises agent - Keep your secrets, IaC execution, and private data completely within your boundary
Log forwarding - Export and analyze all IaC runs on your observability platform of choice
Auditing - Track every configuration change to your env0 IaC pipelines
Bringing together collaboration, version control, and methods used frequently in application development (with Git at the heart of it), GitOps as a process framework for IaC is gaining in popularity. Many organizations start their IaC CI journey by building IaC pipelines in their existing application CI tool. Over time, however, this approach results in brittle IaC build pipelines that are difficult to troubleshoot, and lack effective controls and transparency.
env0 is the platform that brings all these components together, solving challenges such as cross-organization visibility, access control, and drift management. The result? Happier end users and happier developers and devops teams.
env0 IaC CI is…
Collaboration for teams of 1 to 1,000 (or more)
Division of labor with fine-grained role assignment
Tackle drift in real time
Control access to secrets and config/variables
Limit access to dev/test/prod with RBAC
Managed self-service gives access when and where needed
Integrate any additional tooling into IaC deployment process
Model any deployment workflow
Insert env0 into any process and workflows to handle IaC
SOC2 compliant
Jason Walsh
Sr. Infrastructure Engineer
env0 allows us to focus on writing and maintaining our Terraform configurations. Speculative plans for pull requests enable our team to quickly review and approve changes to our infrastructure which helps mitigate risk and provides transparency.
Henry Tze
Cloud and IaC Security Engineer
With env0 we can streamline our deployments easily. We can now maintain a large number of projects, and env0 ensures that the process is scalable, especially when we have to deal with multiple cloud accounts.
Troy Knapp
Senior DevOps Engineer
env0 cut our mean time to merge in half by helping us better manage our workflow and code conflicts. Their customer service and willingness to roll out features based on our needs was unprecedented.
Amit Daniel
DevOps Team Lead
As we moved our cloud deployments to Terraform and needed an automation layer on top. We found env0 to be a great solution for automating our Terraform workflows and enhance our collaboration.
Shaked Shauli
DevOps Lead, PayPal
Compared to Jenkins or scripts, env0 is built specifically for IaC workflows and our team actually likes using it.
Jason Yee
Director of Advocacy
env0 allows us to share the power of Infrastructure as Code with everyone in the organization and empowers them to spin up the technical resources they need without requiring an engineer or engineering knowledge.
Radek Dors
Site Reliability Engineer
We chose env0 to manage all of our AWS Terraform-based deployments. Thanks to env0, we can now collaborate and manage our environments, leveraging GitOps and governance workflows.
Imri Zvik
Director of Architecture
Using env0, we now can provide an infrastructure to our developers, allowing me to focus on what’s important. I no longer have to manage the management solution.
Gal Porat
Director of Devops, IT and Security
env0 allows us to enforce policies on specific environments without the need to constantly check and manually deactivate/activate them.
Eldad Stainbook
Director of Cloud Engineering
Creating a CloudFront or EKS distribution used to take me about three days, now it takes about ten minutes, because we know the model works. All you have to do is populate a few values and that’s it.
Teams to entire businesses
World-class support and enablement
Integration capability with every tool in your dev workflow
RBAC that maps into even the most complex of organizations
Powerful policy capabilities
Automation for security and compliance
Support for the most popular IaC frameworks
Scalable cost model that enables entire team collaboration
Self-hosted agents to keep execution inside your environment
SAML authentication ties into your existing authentication and authorization
SOC2 validated
There really is no comparison between env0 and the other players, like Terraform Cloud and Atlantis, however...
What you’ll find isn’t just our perspective—it’s provided by real customer feedback after their own experiences and evaluations.
