My understanding of Firefly and the ICPs, it targets

• Asset management platform for DevOps, SREs and platform engineers (at every stage of the company’s scale)
• It’s a read-only middleware to visualise and control the cloud footprint.

So what are the ICPs’ problems?

Kubernetes and Terraform has increased cloud complexity, leading to numerous challenges for DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform engineers.

In fact, many companies now regret adopting Kubernetes.

What I think Firefly does exceptionally or fairly well

1. Across a bunch of different parameters
   1. Exceptionally great product feature set
      1. Scanning and codification of assets
      2. Terraform to X
      3. Drift detection
   2. Dev ex & ease of onboarding + adoption
      1. Great that cloud & terraform integrations are so simple - Firefly does this exceptionally well - literally there is no entry barrier to adopt this product
      2. Codification & migration is pretty damn simple. Users can visualize how much of their cloud assets are managed by IaC and which ones are unmanaged - this Firefly again does exceptionally well
      3. Features like raise Jira ticket or pull request are great additions
   3. Enterprise adoption
      1. Since multi cloud is simple, it will grease the enterprise adoption
   4. Competitive differentiation
      1. Cloud scanning ability - lying one layer above than other competitors
      2. Devex - codification and migration super simplified. Governance policies around cost optimisation and security/compliance are exceptional
      3. Quick disaster recovery policies which is excellent

What are the key gaps, that if solved, will solidify Firefly

<aside> 💡 Infrastructure creation is simple but maintenance is the issue. This is the general sentiment across all enterprises.
