  1. Introduction

What is Firefly?

Firefly is a cloud infrastructure automation platform that enables platform and DevOps teams to automate, manage, and govern their entire cloud footprint with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).

Acting as a central "source of truth" for your cloud, Firefly discovers and tracks resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes clusters, and SaaS platforms. By providing a unified configuration management database (CMDB) for dynamic cloud environments, Firefly empowers teams to finally uncomplicate their cloud operations.

With streamlined IaC orchestration, and unified asset management, Firefly helps organizations:

  • Manage IaC across multiple providers with a unified interface

  • Orchestrate infrastructure deployments with ease

  • Automatically codify existing infrastructure

  • Detect and remediate configuration drifts in real-time

  • Enforce governance policies across the entire cloud environment

  • Reduce waste and prevent outages

  • Accelerate innovation while maintaining security and performance at scale

Delivered as a SaaS platform, Firefly integrates seamlessly with your cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters, version control systems, and ChatOps tools with no local installation required.
