You can now integrate Spacelift with ServiceNow for convenient self-service. This feature ties Spacelift Blueprints to Service Catalog Items so that developers can use familiar products and processes to easily self-serve infrastructure. Blueprints are defined by your DevOps/Platform teams, so you can move fast and remain in control, confident all your required control mechanisms are in place. Create your ServiceNow integrations using a new option in your Spacelift account called ServiceNow. Learn more here.
We’ve made it easy to generate Terraform code for your Spacelift stacks, streamlining your IaC process adoption. Simply navigate to the stack for which you want to generate Terraform code, click the three dots in the top right corner, and select the "As Terraform code" option. This will list the stack settings, lifecycle hooks, environment variables, and attached contexts. Copy the code to your clipboard using the "Copy" button, and then integrate it into your Terraform project.
This feature is available on all plans. Find out more here.
Other recent Spacelift releases include notification deduplication and a shareable Blueprints link. See our documentation for more information.
