Cloud Life eliminated static configuration files, cutting delivery times by more than half and improving reliability.
Engineers faced delays with Terraform workflows, waiting for reviews and CI/CD cycles to validate changes.
System Initiative (SI) provided immediate feedback, collaborative editing, and reusable building blocks for infrastructure.
A proof of concept (POC) with SI showed faster subnet configuration changes without Terraform, proving its effectiveness.
SI improved governance with better audit trails and lifecycle visibility compared to traditional config files.
Production workflows now use reusable assets in SI, reducing provisioning time from hours to minutes.
Onboarding new engineers became faster due to SI's visual and collaborative environment.
The shift to SI represented a mindset change from 'infrastructure as code' to 'infrastructure as collaboration.'
