TAME TERRAFORM WITH KRATIX: BUILD BETTER PLATFORM APIs, ABSTRACTION & AUTOMATION
Platform engineers love Terraform for provisioning infrastructure, but developers and others encounter pitfalls and problems with the (lack of) APIs, abstractions, and automation for managing templated code.
Combining Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) and Terraform Enterprise enables you to:
-
Ship faster: Build an API-driven composable platform that can be consumed via UI, APIs, and CLI.
-
Reduce costs: Co-create your platform APIs, abstractions, and automation and easily support apps when they are in production.
-
Deliver safer: Ensure infrastructure best practices and policies are implemented across your fleet on day one, day two, and beyond.
Add "Intelligent Glue" Between Your
Portal and Infrastructure as Code
Are your development teams struggling with day two issues, such as upgrading and monitoring apps, resulting in reduced shipping velocity? Are platform engineers becoming frustrated with the cost of abstracting away the complexities of Terraform (perhaps in preparation for a migration to OpenTofu)? Are infrastructure best practices applied inconsistently across your fleet, leading to increased auditing requirements or compliance violations?
Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) is the “intelligent glue” that assembles your developer portal and Terraform code into an effective platform. It enables you to build better platform APIs, abstractions, and automation to address these problems and more.
Ship applications and platform components faster via UI, API, or CLI
Reduce Terraform maintenance costs with better APIs, abstractions, and automation
Deliver infrastructure and software applications safely on days 1, 2 and 2000
MAKE TERRAFORM WORK
FOR YOUR ENTIRE TEAM
Today
-
Developers provided with Terraform scaffolding struggle with applying upgrades and security patches.
-
Platform engineers migrating from Terraform to another IaC tool negatively impact the speed and stability of downstream app teams.
-
Platform engineers often find Terraform lacking in automation capabilities, specifically around fleet management.
With Syntasso Kratix Enterprise
-
SKE enables platform engineers to focus on enabling developers to ship software on days 1, 2, and 2000.
-
SKE enables platform engineers to provide an API and lifecycle management wrapper for any service, dependency, or infrastructure component.
-
Platform engineers can codify day-two support into reusable SKE workflows and apply this across the organisation’s fleet.
Integrate Syntasso Kratix Enterprise with Terraform Enterprise
Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) is the "intelligent glue" that joins your internal developer portal and infrastructure as code layer, acting as a platform orchestrator. SKE enables platform engineering teams to create and offer everything-as-a-service (XaaS) that developers can consume via a UI, API, or CLI.
Your Terraform implementation can focus on what it does best -- provisioning and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) -- and Kratix supports platform engineering teams in providing composable platform components that can be managed effectively on day one, day two, or day two thousand.
