2020-12-16: Special Edition: Terraform Managed Service Providers - Product Highlights
Meet the companies who are working hard to make Terraform more accessible to developers and enterprises. If anyone has ever tried to run Terraform as part of their normal CI/CD process, they’ve likely run into some challenges. Terraform is an amazing Open Source tool, but integrating it into your regular development pipelines is not as straightforward as deploying a containerized web app. For example: What’s the appropriate Git flow? What happens if you have 2 Pull Requests modifying the same piece of infrastructure? How are you going to enforce policies? How do you run it securely when in order to make any changes, the process requires administrative privileges? How will you manage secrets and keep them secure? These vendors have figured it out. They all have phenomenal offerings and some key differentiators. We want to give them the chance to showcase some of their product highlights and give you an opportunity to ask questions.

Awesome Feedback
Professional Service
I've worked with many DevOps consultants in the past and none of them ran their company the way you run Cloud Posse. I must tell you that I'm really impressed with how you run your business—you are doing all the right things.
Ram Akuka
Amazing Codefresh Partner
I've had the pleasure of working with the Cloud Posse team as a partner across joint accounts but I'm also a user of many of their open source purpose built Docker images to help with Software Development Life Cycle in support of Continuous Integration and Deployment tasks. Their contributions of flexible Docker images has saved me and other users countless hours of development to accomplish tasks around different tools in my DevOps tool chain for example GitHub and Slack. I've also had an opportunity to pair with their team on joint webinars and demos. They have amazing communications skills that enable them to clearly communicate/explain how something works to any developer. This is a must have when engaging large groups of developers with different backgrounds and varying levels of experience in DevOps field.

World Class Infrastructure
Cloudposse has established a fundamental part of our organization's infrastructure. Best in class services such as terraform, k8's, and CI/CD allow us to onboard new developers and have them deploying production code on their first day.
Adam Watson
Extremely Knowledgeable
Erik and his colleagues are extremely knowledgeable in all things infrastructure and communicate this knowledge in a friendly and helpful style. Cloud Posse is excellent value-for-money; have appropriately priced SOWs; and are very flexible to work with.
I would recommend Cloud Posse to anyone who is: looking for modern scalable infrastructure as code to be developed on their behalf; looking for knowledgeable peers with which they can review roadmaps and processes; or seeking a panel of experts to act as a sounding board for their one-man infrastructure or DevOps teams.
Oscar Sullivan
Modern Enterprise Infrastructure
Cloud Posse did an amazing job moving our web operations into ECS with Fargate, setting up our code pipelines and CI/CD processes, and offering us a wealth of information around security and stability in AWS. Thanks to their solid understanding of a variety of AWS Services, we were able to steer clear of potential pitfalls upon implementation and secure our systems better than ever. With their help, we were ultimately able implement the latest strategies of modern enterprise website development.
M Oxman
Super Communicative
Erik and his team worked on the new infrastructure-as-code build from scratch with us at Checkatrade. It was a pleasure to work with him, super communicative, super knowledgeable, and really delivered, as well as an all-round great person! I hope our paths cross in future!
