Late last year, startup Platform Engineering Labs made waves in the world of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) by introducing a new IaC platform, called Formae, available initially on Amazon Web Services. This week, Platform Engineering Labs‘ platform gets (beta) support from additional cloud platforms, including Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and OVHcloud. The company has also released new AI-enhanced software for managing infrastructure tooling, called the Platform for Infrastructure Builders.
Platform Engineering Labs has released formae, an open-source infrastructure-as-code platform designed to address limitations in existing tools, focusing on automatic discovery, codification of existing infrastructure, and a reconcile/patch workflow. It uses PKL instead of HCL and targets reducing drift and complexity.
