It puts automations on an event-based canvas with full observability and step-by-step replay. An AI assistant can build flows from pre-built blocks for AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, PagerDuty, Jira, and Slack, producing production-grade automation in an afternoon instead of two weeks. Agents get governed access through MCP servers, private agents, and approval gates with a full audit trail. Flows integrates with Spacelift Deploy for teams that run it and can live in Git and ship through the Terraform provider, with over 40 templates available to start from. ## 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 does it do for Day 2 operations? Spacelift Flows is a visual workflow automation layer for platform and DevOps teams, built as the Day 2 operations piece of Spacelift's infrastructure orchestration platform. It puts automations on an event-based canvas with full observability and step-by-step execution trails, letting teams replay failed runs partially instead of from scratch, and build new automations using pre-built blocks for AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, PagerDuty, Jira, and Slack. _daily.dev surfaces platform tooling updates like this for teams evaluating Day 2 automation options._ ### How does Spacelift Flows let AI agents access infrastructure tooling securely? Agents get governed access through MCP servers, private agents, and approval gates, with a complete audit trail, rather than acting as a person or on shared credentials. Access can run inside a VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped. For example, a flow exposed as an MCP tool that provisions a development environment can pause for human approval via an approval gate while the audit trail records the action. _teams wiring AI agents into infrastructure workflows track governance patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### Can Spacelift Flows automations be managed as code in Git? Yes, every flow is JavaScript or YAML underneath, so it can be copied out, pasted elsewhere, or managed in Git alongside the rest of the codebase. Flows can also ship through the Terraform provider, giving changes the same review and history as other infrastructure code, even when a flow starts as a quick visual sketch. _developers deciding how to version infrastructure automations can keep up with approaches like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [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 Brought Scale to Your IaC Provisioning.
