Question 1

What is ops0?

Accepted Answer

ops0 is a cloud operations platform, the operating layer your systems never had. It brings your clouds, infrastructure code, runtime and workflows into one operating context, so every team can see, change and govern your cloud from one place. In three words: know it, control it, trust it.

Question 2

What is an operating context for cloud infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

An operating context is one current picture of your cloud: what is running, what changed, what depends on what, who owns it, and which rules apply. Most teams rebuild it manually from consoles, IaC, Git, tickets, and chat before every change. ops0 builds it from the tools you already use and keeps it current.

Question 3

Why are existing tools not enough?

Accepted Answer

Each tool holds part of that context. The cloud console knows what is running, Terraform knows what should be running, Git knows who changed the code, and tickets know who approved it. None of them connects the pieces, so an engineer does it manually. ops0 connects them, so you keep your tools and lose the manual work.

Question 4

What is Kiwi?

Accepted Answer

Kiwi is the AI assistant in ops0. Ask it about your cloud in plain language, such as what changed before an incident or what a change will affect. It answers from the operating context ops0 keeps of your environment and shows the evidence behind each answer. Anything it suggests still goes through your policy and approval checks.

Question 5

How does ops0 fix a cloud risk without creating drift?

Accepted Answer

The remediation lands as a reviewed Terraform or OpenTofu pull request, so your code stays the source of truth and the next plan holds no surprises. ops0 does not mutate the resource behind your code the way auto-remediation tools do, which is what quietly creates drift in the first place.

Question 6

Can ops0 stop a risky change before it reaches cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New risk can enter through pull requests, CLI commands, and AI coding agents. The ops0 CLI blocks a terraform destroy before it runs, checks changes against policy, cost, and budget, and its MCP server puts those checks inside AI coding tools at the point of change.

Question 7

What problems does ops0 solve?

Accepted Answer

ops0 removes the manual work of rebuilding context before every change, and with it the risks that hide in the gaps: drift, public exposure, unmanaged resources, cost surprises, dependency risk, and changes nobody can prove later.

Question 8

What path does a fix follow in ops0?

Accepted Answer

Each fix moves through impact analysis, policy checks, cost review, approval routing, pull request, and audit evidence before anything changes.

Question 9

How is ops0 different from a Terraform orchestrator?

Accepted Answer

Orchestrators run code humans wrote. ops0 generates infrastructure code from intent, discovers existing resources, maps dependencies, checks policy and cost, deploys through approval gates, and monitors drift afterward.

Question 10

Which clouds and IaC paths does ops0 support?

Accepted Answer

ops0 supports AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Kubernetes, with Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, and Oxid (the open-source IaC engine by ops0) as IaC paths.

Question 11

Does ops0 replace existing Git, CI/CD, or review workflows?

Accepted Answer

No. ops0 syncs generated IaC and configurations to GitHub or GitLab with branches, pull requests, commit tracking, and audit trails so existing review and approval processes still apply.

Question 12

How does ops0 keep AI-generated infrastructure safe?

Accepted Answer

Generated infrastructure stays reviewable as IaC, policy and compliance checks run before deployment, deploys go through approval gates, and drift detection runs continuously after deployment.
