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.
