Now We’re Automating Everything That Happens After. **[Spacelift](https://daily.dev/sources/spacelift)** · 5 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Spacelift is launching Flows, a visual workflow automation product for Day 2 infrastructure operations like patching, credential rotation, and access requests. Platform teams spend roughly 80% of their time on this post-provisioning work, often using scattered cron jobs and scripts. Flows runs automations on a visual canvas with a step-by-step execution trail, offers pre-built blocks, code, or an AI assistant to build automations, and exposes internal systems to AI agents as Model Context Protocol servers with approval gates and per-agent audit trails. Spacelift's existing IaC and GitOps product is renamed Spacelift Deploy, forming a single control plane with Flows and Spacelift Intelligence. Parker Cameron of Discovery Education said Flows got something working in a few hours instead of four weeks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Spacelift Flows and what problem does it solve? Spacelift Flows is a visual workflow automation product for Day 2 infrastructure operations such as patching, certificate rotation, incident response, and access requests. It addresses the roughly 80% of platform team time spent on post-provisioning work, which typically runs on scattered cron jobs, scripts, and Lambda functions with no central inventory or audit trail. _Platform teams weighing automation tools can track how Day 2 operations tooling evolves on daily.dev._ ### How does Spacelift Flows let AI agents access infrastructure safely? Flows exposes internal systems as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with private network access and approval gates. Each agent authenticates as itself and appears in the audit trail as its own user, so every action an agent takes is attributable to that specific agent rather than to a shared key or an engineer's credentials. _Teams designing safe agent access to infrastructure can follow MCP developments on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between Spacelift Deploy and Spacelift Flows? Spacelift Deploy is the renamed version of Spacelift's existing IaC and GitOps provisioning capability, unchanged in function, contract, or access. Spacelift Flows is the new Day 2 operations automation product. Together with Spacelift Intelligence, they form a single control plane sharing the same policy, role-based access control, and audit history across provisioning and post-provisioning work. _Developers evaluating infrastructure orchestration platforms can compare product changes like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Spacelift Flows Automates Day 2 Operations](https://daily.dev/posts/spacelift-flows-automates-day-2-operations-xnrgztsfs) · Spacelift · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Spacelift Flows Is Live: Bring IaC Rigor to Day 2](https://daily.dev/posts/spacelift-flows-is-live-bring-iac-rigor-to-day-2-3yr6aer5g) · Spacelift · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Spacelift Intelligence Vibe-Codes Infrastructure](https://daily.dev/posts/spacelift-intelligence-vibe-codes-infrastructure-auwxoeum2) · DevOps.com · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#automation](https://daily.dev/tags/automation), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#terraform](https://daily.dev/tags/terraform), [#iac](https://daily.dev/tags/iac), [#spacelift](https://daily.dev/tags/spacelift) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/spacelift-brought-scale-to-your-iac-provisioning-now-we-re-automating-everything-that-happens-after-hk5p5l9rl) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Spacelift Brought Scale to Your IaC Provisioning.
