# What is ops0?

Source: https://docs.ops0.com/docs/introduction/what-is-ops0

ops0 is an infrastructure operations platform that brings provisioning, policy enforcement, discovery, Kubernetes operations, and workflow automation into one controlled workspace.

The product experience lives in `brew.ops0.ai`. The company site is `ops0.com`.

## What Problem It Solves

Teams usually split infrastructure work across too many tools:

- **Manual Cloud Changes**: Teams still jump into cloud consoles for one-off changes that are hard to review and even harder to track later.

- **Fragmented IaC Delivery**: Terraform code, execution pipelines, and operational context often live in separate systems with weak handoff between them.

- **Disconnected Kubernetes Ops**: Cluster debugging, workload inspection, and infrastructure changes happen in separate dashboards with no shared workflow.

- **Approval Sprawl**: Approvals and change context end up scattered across tickets, chat threads, and spreadsheets.

- **Late Governance Checks**: Policy and compliance review often happens after a change is already moving, when fixes are slower and risk is higher.

**What ops0 changes**

ops0 reduces that fragmentation by putting planning, execution, governance, and operational visibility in the same place.

## What You Can Do In ops0

- [Infrastructure as Code](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/iac/overview): Create, review, and deploy infrastructure changes with AI assistance and execution history.

- [Discovery](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/discovery/overview): Scan existing cloud resources, understand relationships, and import managed state.

- [Kubernetes](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/kubernetes/overview): Connect clusters, inspect workloads, and troubleshoot incidents from a single operator view.

- [Policies & Compliance](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/policies/overview): Evaluate risky changes before deployment and enforce organizational guardrails.

- [Workflows](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/workflows/overview): Automate approvals, schedules, and multi-step operational actions.

- [Resource Graph](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/resource-graph): Visualize infrastructure relationships and inspect environments from a topology view.

## Where ops0 Fits

| If your team needs to... | ops0 helps by... |
| --- | --- |
| bring existing cloud resources under control | scanning environments and helping you move toward managed infrastructure |
| review changes before execution | pairing plans, policies, and approvals in one workflow |
| operate Kubernetes alongside infrastructure changes | keeping cluster visibility close to the rest of the platform |
| reduce manual console work | moving teams toward repeatable, auditable flows |

## Typical First Journey

### Sign in to brew.ops0.ai
Access the product workspace and confirm you have the right organization and permissions.

### Connect a cloud provider
Set up the integration needed for discovery, planning, and deployments.

### Create a first project
Start with a small infrastructure target and validate the authoring workflow.

### Add policies and approvals
Once the core path works, add the controls your team needs before wider rollout.

## Next Steps

- [Getting Started](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/getting-started): Follow the setup path from access to first deployment.

- [Core Concepts](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/introduction/core-concepts): Learn the main objects and workflows used across the platform.

- [Architecture](https://docs.ops0.com/docs/introduction/architecture): Review how the platform is structured and how integrations fit in.
