How Kosli helps you
Kosli gives you a single, unified way to track everything that moves through your delivery pipelines: code, artifacts, tests, approvals, deployments and prove it’s been done safely and correctly. With Kosli, you can:- Automate compliance and eliminate manual change approval processes.
- Capture tamper-proof evidence across your SDLC (without slowing down delivery).
- Monitor all runtime environments and deployments across teams.
- Offer developers secure paved paths that embed governance from the start.
Your role in using Kosli
As a platform engineer, you’re typically responsible for:- Setting up Kosli in CI/CD and infrastructure environments.
- Creating and maintaining Flows, which model how changes move through pipelines.
- Defining and triggering Trails to capture each run of those pipelines.
- Configuring Attestations for tests, scans, and internal checks (e.g., Jira, Snyk).
- Capturing Environment Snapshots and enforcing Policies to govern deployments.
- Building reusable Kosli integrations (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI templates) so your dev teams don’t have to think about it.
What you’ll work with
You’ll primarily interact with:- Kosli CLI: integrated into your CI/CD pipelines and scripts.
- Flows and Trails: to represent and track software delivery runs.
- Artifacts and Attestations: to connect builds and compliance evidence.
- Environment Snapshots & Policies: to enforce governance in prod and staging.
- Kosli UI: to review deployment status, compliance views, and audits.
What success looks like
When Kosli is successfully adopted by platform engineering, you’ll see:- Your pipelines continuously produce verifiable, compliant deployments.
- You eliminate the need for spreadsheet-driven approvals and CAB meetings.
- Developers onboard Kosli passively via the platform, they rarely have to learn it directly.
- Security and compliance teams get everything they need with minimal friction.
- Audits are a non-event: you already have the evidence.
Common questions you might have
Do I need to change our pipelines to use Kosli?
Do I need to change our pipelines to use Kosli?
No major changes. Kosli integrates via CLI commands you can drop into any pipeline.
Can I templatize this across many teams?
Can I templatize this across many teams?
Yes. Use flow templates and reusable CI snippets to roll out a consistent setup.
Does Kosli work with our existing tools?
Does Kosli work with our existing tools?
Almost certainly. Kosli is tool-agnostic and supports GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Terraform, and more.
How do I know it's working?
How do I know it's working?
Kosli automatically gives you compliance status per environment and per change. You can inspect Trails, download audit packages, and integrate with Slack or through Webhooks for alerts.
