Does it have composable, reusable, parameterizable components that allow you to set up similar infrastructure in multiple environments or regions?
Does it have a way to add support for underlying infrastructure that isn't natively supported, similar to terraform provider plugins?
How do you plan on keeping these "simulations" up to date, and consistent with real infrastructure, especially as you add support for more cloud providers?
- holoway 2y agoTo your first question, adding what we call management components is high on the to-do list. They serve this role, in addition to letting you describe workflow across the other infrastructure they manage. You add support directly in System Initiative, by writing the schema and functions in TypeScript. You can see how in the docs. The resources can be periodically refeshed, and the data flows through all your open change sets automatically - kind of like an automatic rebase. This is also an area where we’re doing work - both to figure out the right intervals and to show drift more clearly.
