Evidence-first desired-state ingestion

Know what was ingested, what was missed, and what can be trusted.

IaC Import preserves source provenance from repository revision or upload checksum through validation, parsing, analysis, and desired-state promotion. Unsupported, rejected, and omitted inputs stay visible, while partial imports can add verified evidence without deleting resources they did not observe.

Govern

Discovery, drift, and IaC continuity

Bound acquisition

Use organization-owned source connections or one-use upload sessions with checksum, size, type, and expiry controls.

Real completeness

Inspect detected, downloaded, parsed, rejected, unsupported, and omitted files instead of synthetic progress.

Safe reconciliation

Promote verified desired state transactionally without letting a partial run erase previously known infrastructure.

How it works

The workflow behind IaC Import.

Each step exists to reduce time-to-clarity for technical teams without forcing them into a separate diagramming or documentation toolchain.

Step 1

Acquire the source

Bind an encrypted connection, repository revision, or signed upload to the organization and actor.

01

Step 2

Validate and parse

Enforce archive, file, parser, and resource bounds while recording every coverage gap.

02

Step 3

Promote trusted state

Review the reconciliation diff before a fenced worker atomically promotes verified desired state.

03
