What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the deployment and management of cloud infrastructure, ensuring your live environment precisely matches your desired configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Infrastructure Deployment: Apply forma files to create or update cloud resources.
  • Configuration Reconciliation: Ensure your infrastructure state matches your code.
  • Simulate Changes: Preview all modifications before they are applied to your environment.
  • Use Case: Deploy a new microservice by applying its forma configuration, or update an existing application's infrastructure to a new version.

Quick Start

Use the formae-apply skill to simulate deploying the infrastructure defined in './my-app/production.forma'.

Frequently Asked Questions about formae-apply

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reconcile existing cloud infrastructure to match my IaC configuration?

You can simulate infrastructure changes by applying forma files in simulation mode, which previews all resource modifications before they are applied to your live cloud environment. This allows safe verification of updates.

Do I need the formae CLI to deploy infrastructure using this Skill?

Yes, you need the formae CLI installed to evaluate deployments. This Skill relies on the CLI to apply forma files and reconcile existing stacks, ensuring your infrastructure state matches your desired configuration.

What is the best way to preview cloud resource updates before applying them?

The best way to preview cloud resource updates is using simulation mode, which evaluates forma files to show all planned modifications before execution. This ensures your infrastructure deployment matches expectations without live changes.

Can I force infrastructure reconciliation when cloud drift is detected?

Yes, you can force infrastructure reconciliation when drift is detected by utilizing force modes. This ensures your live cloud environment is strictly updated or destroyed to precisely match the desired state defined in your forma files.

How does infrastructure as code deployment handle resource destruction and updates?

Infrastructure as code deployment handles resource destruction and updates by applying forma files to reconcile existing stacks. It evaluates configuration changes and modifies cloud resources to ensure the live state matches your code.
