This session will be held in the Partner Advantage Theater on the Expo Floor.

About this session:
Every infrastructure change is one run: code, an engine, a plan, an apply. That run is still a wall of unstructured log text, and the questions about your estate go unanswered. Five to ask of your IaC:

Did Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or Ansible run it, and does it matter?
Where does the time go, and can OpenTelemetry tracing show you?
What happens outside the engine: providers, state, policy-as-code, drift, queue time?
What about unmanaged resources, the half of your AWS account no run ever touched?
Who gets self-service, and can an AI agent be trusted with an apply?

Presenters:
Jonah Kowall, SVP Product at Spacelift
Emin Alemdar, Solutions Architect at Spacelift
