Cloud Infrastructure Automation solution for IT teams
About IBM Cloud Schematics
IBM Cloud® Schematics provides automation by offering declarative Terraform templates to ensure a desired provisioned cloud infrastructure. Native integration with Red Hat® Ansible extends configuration, management and provisioning to software and applications, and integrates with other IBM Cloud Services. With Terraform-as-a-Service, DevOps teams can use a high-level configuration language to model the resources they want in their cloud environment and enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Install software packages and application code on your infrastructure easily. Have your team build, deploy and iterate on your infrastructure automation processes. Improve the DevOps lifecycle, from planning and builds to software testing and application monitoring. Employ Satellite and Schematics to automate the creation of Satellite locations and Red Hat OpenShift® on IBM Cloud.

Terraform
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage hundreds of cloud services. Terraform codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files. Write infrastructure as code using declarative configuration files. HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) allows for concise descriptions of resources using blocks, arguments, and expressions. Run terraform plan to check whether the execution plan for a configuration matches your expectations before provisioning or changing infrastructure. Apply changes to hundreds of cloud providers with terraform apply to reach the desired state of the configuration. Define infrastructure as code to manage the full lifecycle — create new resources, manage existing ones, and destroy those no longer needed.

Massdriver
At Massdriver, we believe in prevention, not permission, letting ops teams enforce guardrails while developers deploy confidently. Our platform encodes your non-negotiables into self-service modules built with your preferred IaC (Terraform, Helm, OpenTofu, etc.) standardizing infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes out-of-the-box.
By bundling policy, security, and cost controls into functional IaC assets, Massdriver cuts overhead for ops teams and speeds developer workflows. Through a central service catalog, developers can provision what they need with integrated monitoring, secrets management, and RBAC baked in. No more brittle IaC pipelines; ephemeral CI/CD spins up automatically from each module’s tooling.
Scale faster with unlimited cloud accounts and projects, all while reducing risk and ensuring compliance. Massdriver—fast by default, safe by design.

Spacelift
Spacelift, via the Spacelift Infrastructure Orchestration Platform, manages the entire infrastructure lifecycle – provisioning, configuration and governance. Spacelift integrates with existing infrastructure tooling (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible) to provide a single integrated workflow to deliver secure, cost-effective and resilient infrastructure, fast.
Spacelift is redefining how infrastructure is provisioned and governed with Spacelift Intent, the first open source, agentic, natural language model for cloud infrastructure. Intent allows developers to provision resources instantly without writing HCL, while DevOps and Platform teams maintain full visibility, policy control, and auditability. Built on Terraform providers, Intent creates a new path for agility, complementing IaC and GitOps by making fast, low-ceremony provisioning safe and governed.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resource Manager
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Resource Manager is an Oracle-managed service that automates deployment and operations for all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. Unlike Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) offerings from other cloud vendors, the service is based on Terraform, a widely used, open source industry standard that allows DevOps engineers to develop and deploy their infrastructure anywhere. IaC allows repeatable deployments of configurations, increasing developer productivity. For auditing, Resource Manager tracks changes to infrastructure by users and timestamps. Explore an architecture and Terraform configuration for using Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Analytics Cloud to optimize data management.
