Spacelift: Elevate Your Infrastructure Deployment

Introduction

Course Introduction

Hello everyone, I'm Sanjeev from KodeKloud.

In this lesson, we will explore Spacelift—a specialized CI/CD pipeline tool designed specifically for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Spacelift simplifies the continuous integration and delivery process and effectively addresses challenges that often go unnoticed when managing application code.

The image lists key challenges of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), including adoption discrepancies, security assessment tools, requirement of new human capital, versioning and traceability, and risk of error duplication. There is also a person speaking in a video call on the right side.

Traditional CI/CD pipelines often struggle with critical aspects such as:

  • Versioning and traceability
  • Security challenges
  • Managing the human element in infrastructure operations

Note

Spacelift was specifically created to overcome these challenges by offering enhanced capabilities tailored for IaC environments.

After identifying these challenges, we will delve into the mechanics of Spacelift and demonstrate how to configure an effective CI/CD pipeline using this tool.

The image shows a Spacelift dashboard interface with various options on the left and a video call or presentation on the right, featuring a person speaking into a microphone.

Let's begin by taking a closer look at the challenges encountered when working with Infrastructure as Code and understand how Spacelift addresses each one.
