Platform Engineering Labs announced that its open-source infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platform, formae, now has beta support for multiple cloud providers, including Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and OVHcloud.
During this beta period, the core workflows function on these clouds, but not all resources are supported yet. The company said it will expand support based on the real usage it sees.
“Public cloud support is table stakes for modern Infrastructure as Code, and mature ecosystems already exist around it. At the same time, cloud APIs are still complex in practice. Behavior differs across services, state transitions don’t always align, and correctness often depends on subtle provider-specific details. We consider it our responsibility to make the core cloud plugins reliable and predictable, so teams don’t have to rediscover the same edge cases over and over again,” the company wrote in a blog post.
Additionally, the company added a Plugin SDK to enable users to extend formae themselves. Extensions will behave like first-class components and are schema-safe by default, bounded by explicit constraints, predictable, and aligned with the core system’s control model.
According to the company, most integrations can make it to a usable state in just a few hours using the SDK, existing plugins as references, and documentation.
Platform Engineering Labs also said that these two new capabilities answer two of the most common pieces of feedback that users have given since formae launched three months ago: a need for more than just AWS support and a need to be able to extend the platform to support different systems.
“That’s not abstract feedback. That’s everyday Infrastructure as Code reality today: multiple clouds, managed services, internal platforms, and a long tail of systems that all need to be represented and kept in sync,” the company wrote.
