In fast-moving organizations, developers are expected to ship quickly. Infrastructure shouldn’t be a blocker, but it can’t become a liability either. One unchecked terraform apply, a missing tag, or a misconfigured instance can turn into a surprise bill, a failed audit, or even a production outage. The most reliable way to manage infrastructure at speed is to make governance part of the delivery process.

Policies are essential for maintaining secure, cost-effective, and compliant infrastructure. But writing them from scratch takes time, time most teams would rather spend on building and shipping. The intent is there. Platform teams want to enforce standards. But figuring out what to enforce, writing the logic, validating parameters, and wiring it all into workflows adds friction. Even experienced teams find themselves blocked not by policy frameworks, but by the overhead of getting started.

Managing infrastructure drift doesn't always start with your code. Changes are often made directly to cloud resources—whether through urgent security hotfixes, manual fixes, or automated optimization and security tools. To ensure your Infrastructure as Code stays fully aligned, env0 now suggests a pull request based on those cloud-side changes, allowing you to easily review, merge, and sync your environments. This enhancement expands drift remediation to cover the full lifecycle.

Cloud infrastructure management is a complicated task for organizations of all sizes. Infrastructure teams are increasingly asked to improve developer velocity, unlock access to different cloud platforms, and provide comprehensive visibility into cost and performance. Choosing the right cloud orchestration tool reduces the burden on infrastructure teams.

As cloud infrastructure scales, governance, security, and compliance become more complex. Policy-as-Code provides a powerful solution by automating and enforcing policies consistently across Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). Join Omry, CTO of env0, and Andres, Lead Developer Advocate at Styra, for a 30-minute lightning talk exploring the role of policies in IaC, real-world enforcement examples, and the latest updates in Open Policy Agent (OPA).

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) offers many benefits but also introduces new security and compliance concerns, along with challenges in controlling cloud budgets. Join us for a 30-minute lightning talk, where we’ll share practical tips on how env0 addresses these and other risks with a suite of analytics, governance, and drift management tools.
