Multi-Account IaC Shouldn't be Painful to Setup and Run!
Why do many IaC tools:
- Abandon the simplicity of CloudFormation for a more complex language?
- Lack an automated deployment pipeline?
- Remain CLI centric or require SaaS for a web console?
Complexity adds Risk. Adopting a new language is challenging and moving away from CloudFormation often complicates collaboration and deployment, adding unnecessary complexity. CLI commands may suffice for small deployments, but in the real world of large, multi-account, distributed architectures, command line text outputs can become overwhelming and unwieldy. A web console that organizes and visually presents deployment data would be ideal. However, such features are typically only available through expensive SaaS solutions that store your infrastructure information outside of your AWS environment.
StackOps, an IaC deployment pipeline and console in your AWS Account. StackOps orchestrates standard CloudFormation templates to enhance modularity and manage Stack dependencies automatically, even across different accounts and regions. This allows you to write concise, reusable templates and effortlessly compose them through their dependencies. Also, StackOps provides a comprehensive web console within your AWS account, offering an intuitive interface without compromising control or security.
Streamline AWS IaC
After a quick 5-minute setup in your AWS Account, you have a complete AWS IaC solution, not just a tool. StackOps includes an automated deployment pipeline, a comprehensive console, automatic Stack dependency management, multi-account deployments, and impressive speed.
Stay Secure
StackOps works exclusively with temporary role-based credentials and integrates seamlessly with AWS Identity Center. It is installed directly into your AWS Account, allowing you to secure it alongside the infrastructure you manage.
Be Cost Effective
Running costs are minimal with StackOps, as it is built on Lambda and DynamoDB, often operating within the free tier. Subscription costs are a fraction of the alternatives. Its simplicity reduces the time needed for learning, collaboration, and handover.
