env zero Demo: Codify Everything
Turn manually-created cloud resources into Infrastructure as Code, then package that code into reusable templates your whole team can deploy.
This walkthrough covers two env zero capabilities that work well together: using Cloud Compass to codify click ops resources into Terraform or OpenTofu, and building reusable templates so other users can deploy proven infrastructure without writing code or configuring integrations themselves.
WHAT'S COVERED
🔧 Converting Manual Resources to IaC
- Using Cloud Compass to find resources that were created manually
- Filtering the pie chart down to click ops based resources
- Selecting resources and generating Infrastructure as Code from them
- Choosing your framework: OpenTofu or Terraform
- Downloading the generated code file to bring those resources under IaC management
📦 Creating Reusable Templates
- Saving and sharing reusable code and modules as an env0 template
- Picking a framework and naming your template
- Connecting a code source: GitHub repository and branch selection
- Reviewing variables loaded from your code, and removing the ones you don't need
- Granting template access to specific projects
- Letting teammates deploy the template with no extra integrations or code
- Finding templates in the project's template section
If you're dealing with untracked infrastructure, cleaning up click ops drift, or trying to make self-service deployments possible for your team, this shows how env zero handles both ends of that problem.
