Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spacelift, and how does it work?
Spacelift is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) orchestration platform that automates plans, applies, policy checks, and drift detection while keeping full auditability. You connect your VCS repo and point Spacelift at your IaC directory; Spacelift then runs workflows across any cloud and records every action for governance and security.
What makes Spacelift different from other IaC management platforms?
Spacelift stands out for its flexibility, security, and deep customization capabilities.
- Multi-IaC support: One platform for Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
- Built-in governance: Policy-as-code with OPA for automated security, compliance, and guardrails at scale.
- Faster delivery with control: Self-service infrastructure that boosts developer velocity without sacrificing oversight.
- Stay in desired state: Drift detection and remediation reduce risk from configuration drift.
- Enterprise at the core: RBAC, SSO/SAML, audit logs, Stack/Space isolation, and reusable modules.
- No lock-in: Deep customization and seamless integrations with your existing DevOps toolchain.
