Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information
What is Bluebricks and what does it do?
Bluebricks is an IaC-agnostic environment orchestrator that transforms Infrastructure as Code (IaC), configurations, and scripts into one-click environments that are AI-agent ready. It simplifies and streamlines cloud infrastructure operations, enabling rapid and consistent environment creation across cloud and on-premises environments. [Source]
Does Bluebricks replace existing solutions in my deployment pipeline?
Yes. Bluebricks consolidates multiple tools and components in your deployment pipelines into one streamlined platform, reducing complexity and operational chaos. [Source]
Will my developers need to learn new code to use Bluebricks?
No. Bluebricks provides a simple, intuitive interface—via UI, YAML-based GitOps, CLI, or API—so your team can keep using the tools and workflows they already know. Engineers can focus on their core job without learning new layers of tooling. [Source]
Does Bluebricks manage Terraform state?
Yes. Bluebricks can manage your Terraform state for you. If you prefer to use your own backend, Bluebricks will respect that and work with your setup. [Source]
Is Bluebricks open source?
No. Bluebricks is not open source. It is an orchestration layer that connects and manages your Infrastructure-as-Code, working seamlessly with popular open-source tools like Terraform, Helm, and Terragrunt. [Source]
What is the primary purpose of Bluebricks?
