About Otter by Inedo
Otter helps you provision and configure your servers automatically, without ever needing to log-in to a command prompt. You can define reusable sets of configuration called roles, and then scale your infrastructure by simply assigning these roles to any number of servers. Let everyone on your team run complex scripts with a custom GUI that you develop around your script parameters. Enable anyone to develop advanced, multi-server orchestrations without needing advanced coding skills. Define desired states of configuration for your servers, detect “drift” from their actual configuration, and re-configure as needed. CI/CD for Infrastructure & Configuration Management. Read the guide to learn how you can deliver infrastructure changes using CI/CD pipelines with Otter and BuildMaster.

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
Massdriver is a self-service infrastructure platform designed around the principle of prevention, not permission. It empowers operations teams to encode their expertise, and your organization’s security, compliance, and cost requirements, into pre-approved modules using the Infrastructure-as-Code tools you already know, such as Terraform, Helm, or OpenTofu.
These modules become functional software assets, integrating policy and governance so developers can easily discover and provision them from a central service catalog. With built-in secrets management, monitoring, and ABAC, teams can manage multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes faster and more reliably.
By replacing traditional, brittle CI/CD pipelines with ephemeral pipelines that spin up automatically from each module’s tooling, Massdriver frees DevOps and Platform teams to focus on innovation rather than maintenance. In short, it’s a self-service approach that cuts operational overhead, accelerate

Cycode
A platform for security, governance, and pipeline integrity for all your development tools & infrastructure. Harden your source control management systems (SCM), find secrets, leaks and prevent code tampering. Scan your CI/CD settings and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for security misconfiguration. Identify drift between production systems IaC configurations and prevent source code tampering. Stop developers from inadvertently exposing proprietary code in public repositories, fingerprint code assets and proactively identify exposure on public sites. Inventory assets, enforce security policies, and easily demonstrate compliance across all your DevOps tools and infrastructure, both in the cloud and on-premises. Scan IaC for security misconfigurations and ensure compliance between defined IaC configurations and production infrastructure. Scan every commit or pull/merge request for hard-coded secrets and prevent them from reaching the master branch across all SCMs and programming languages.
