Overview

Spacelift is a comprehensive infrastructure orchestration platform designed to help teams provision, configure, and manage infrastructure workflows efficiently. It supports a variety of popular infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, Pulumi, Kubernetes, and CloudFormation. By unifying deployment, configuration management, and governance into automated pipelines, Spacelift accelerates developer productivity while ensuring strong security, compliance, and full visibility into resources.

Features and Capabilities

• **IaC Orchestration & Multi-Tool Support: **Spacelift enables orchestration of infrastructure workflows across multiple IaC tools within a single platform. It supports Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Terragrunt, Ansible, and Kubernetes, allowing teams to manage diverse infrastructure provisioning without switching contexts.
• **Workflow & Stack Management: **The platform organizes infrastructure components into “stacks” that bundle IaC code, environment variables, state files, contexts, and lifecycle hooks. This enables orchestration across dependencies, tools, and different environments in a consistent and automated manner.
• **Policy-Oriented Governance: **Spacelift enforces compliance and governance through policy-as-code. Teams can define guardrails using built-in templates or custom policies. The platform also detects configuration drift and can trigger automated remediation to keep infrastructure in the desired state.
• **Enterprise Security & Compliance: **With SOC2 Type II certification, Spacelift ensures enterprise-grade security. It employs encryption for data in transit and at rest, supports single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), and offers options for private or public workers and private version control system (VCS) integration. Comprehensive audit trails and a self-hosted deployment option further enhance security and compliance.
• **Developer Self-Service & Velocity: **Platform teams can create pre-approved infrastructure templates, empowering developers to deploy infrastructure independently through self-service workflows. This reduces bottlenecks and boosts overall developer velocity without sacrificing control.
• **Integration & Extension: **Spacelift seamlessly integrates with version control systems, cloud providers, observability platforms, and security tools. It supports dynamic credential management, lifecycle hooks for extending workflows, reusable blueprints, and provides a Kubernetes Operator to manage Kubernetes resources natively.
• **Scheduling & Automation: **Users can schedule regular drift detection, infrastructure deployments, resource deletions, and custom tasks, ensuring infrastructure is continuously monitored and managed without manual intervention.
• **Resource Visualization & Observability: **The platform offers real-time and historical views of infrastructure resources managed across stacks, providing deep visibility into the state and inventory of managed infrastructure components.
