For years, CI/CD pipelines have been the gold standard for software delivery—fast, repeatable, and reliable. But when it comes to cloud infrastructure, the model breaks down. It’s not that CI/CD is broken. It’s that infrastructure isn’t software. It has different constraints, different risks, and very different failure modes. And treating it like software introduces risk, drift, friction, and operational overhead—right when teams need speed and stability most.
The more your cloud estate grows, the more these problems compound—until visibility, control, and velocity start to erode.
