Complete Terraform Cloud with Cycloid

Use Cycloid in addition to Terraform Cloud!


While by definition Terraform Cloud/Enterprise focuses only on Terraform management, we believe that a service catalog and an internal developer portal should allow the deployment of infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and CI/CD, as well as offer FinOps & GreenOps capabilities to achieve an all-in-one sustainable platform engineering strategy.

This is where Cycloid can help. Cycloid promotes efficient infrastructure and software delivery alongside FinOps and green practices, all in one platform. It facilitates IT teams' use of tools, cloud, and automation while adhering to governance and digital sobriety. Cycloid aims to cut platform development time from 3 years to 3 months and ease IT workloads by lowering ticket numbers while boosting efficiency. Through API or console, Cycloid offers modules for Self-Service & Orchestration, Project Management, and FinOps & GreenOps.

Simplicity and flexibility without sacrificing governance

Your platform engineering team will design, build, and maintain Cycloid as an internal developer platform to allow end-users to interact with tools and clouds without the need to become experts. You create your own opinionated platform to define the governance and the level of flexibility wanted. It’s based on your Git and is tool and cloud provider-agnostic.

Complete your Terraform Cloud/Enterprise approach

Use Cycloid in addition to Terraform Cloud/Enterprise when you create Stacks that embed Terraform Cloud/Enterprise.

Alternatively, Cycloid can be used to replace Terraform Cloud/Enterprise altogether where Cycloid will only manage IaC Terraform Open Source. We offer a more competitive pricing model with more features to democratize hybrid cloud, DevX and DevOps at scale as Terraform's business model prohibits the capacity to scale across the entire organization.

Only focused on Terraform, not possible to integrate Configuration management, CI/CD to provide complete Stacks.
Simplified Service Catalog

Disable features in service catalog.

Stackforms

Create your workflow with simple user-friendly webforms to hide tools and infra complexity.

Only focused on Terraform variable and less complex conditions while Cycloid is capable of creating forms agnostic from tools and cloud with much more complex conditions.
Infra Import

Automatically create an IaC service catalog from manually-deployed infrastructure and start with your automation quicker in a reproducible and controlled manner across all your environments. 

Role Based Access Control

Grant access and permissions based on user role

Organization Policies

Set rules to enforce best practices and security compliance at organization level.

CI/CD Pipelines

Execute process automation through workflows in your environments with a pipeline engine and interact with third party APIs. 

Only fixes and formats continuous deployments that can't be adapted to your workflow/customization while Cycloid embeds an agnostic CI/CD orchestrator called Concourse.
API & CLI
