TL;DR

env0's Cloud Compass feature identifies manually created cloud resources and generates Terraform or OpenTofu code from them, enabling teams to bring ClickOps infrastructure under IaC management quickly.
Generated IaC code is downloadable immediately, giving engineers a starting point to formalize untracked resources without writing code from scratch.
env0 templates allow teams to package and share reusable infrastructure modules connected to GitHub, with configurable variables and project-level access controls for self-service deployment.

Summary

This short product walkthrough demonstrates two complementary env0 capabilities designed to bring manually managed cloud infrastructure under proper Infrastructure as Code governance. The first capability, Cloud Compass, allows platform engineers and DevOps teams to identify resources that were created through ClickOps — manual console-based provisioning — and convert them directly into Terraform or OpenTofu code. Users filter a visual pie chart to isolate ClickOps-based resources, select the ones they want to codify, and generate a downloadable IaC file in seconds. The second capability covers env0's reusable template system, which lets teams package proven infrastructure code into shareable templates connected to a GitHub repository. Templates are configured once — with framework selection, branch targeting, variable management, and project-level access controls — and then made available for self-service deployment by teammates who need no additional integrations or coding knowledge. Together, these two features address both ends of the infrastructure drift problem: pulling untracked resources into IaC management and preventing future drift by enabling governed, repeatable deployments across teams.

Key Quotes

0:00 "You can also use ENV0's Cloud Compass capability to help you codify and convert resources that were previously managed manually into IAC managed resources."
0:35 "Hit perform action, right, and you can see that there is an option to generate IAC code."
1:02 "You can also use ENV0 to codify or more so save down reusable pieces of code or modules that you would like to expose and share with other users inside the platform."
2:24 "What this now facilitates is for users to be able to easily select and use that piece of code without necessarily having to configure any additional things or write any additional code."

FAQ

What frameworks does env0 support when generating IaC from ClickOps resources?

env0 supports both OpenTofu and Terraform when generating Infrastructure as Code from manually created resources via Cloud Compass. Users select their preferred framework before generating the code file.

Can non-technical users deploy infrastructure using env0 templates?

Yes. Once a template is created and access is granted to a project, team members can deploy infrastructure by simply selecting the template and clicking run — no additional integrations, configuration, or code writing required.
