Let Developers Run Approved Cloud Operations Without Console Access
DevAutOps separates who is allowed to run a cloud operation from who has direct access to the underlying AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Developers get a self-service app scoped to exactly the operation they’re approved for - not IAM credentials, not console access, not a standing role they could misuse.

How it works
How does a developer run a cloud operation without holding cloud credentials?
The Trigger holds the deployment credential, stored encrypted at rest in the Secrets Manager. The developer only holds a role that permits them to run that specific app - they never see or handle the underlying credential.
What stops someone from running an operation they’re not approved for?
Resource-level RBAC. Roles grant read-only or complete access per service and per resource, and are assigned to individual users or groups - access can be as narrow as "run this one app."
Who controls what the operation is actually allowed to do?
A separation-of-duties principle runs through the platform: who defines and governs an operation is kept distinct from who is authorized to run it, so authors and runners sit on different, auditable footing.
Where do the actual cloud credentials live?
In DevAutOps’s Secrets Manager, encrypted at rest, shareable only through controlled one-time links when a credential genuinely needs to change hands - never exposed to whoever is running the resulting app.
DevAutOps turns repetitive platform and security requests into reusable, auditable, self-service workflows. It’s a practical approach to automating tasks like key rotation, firewall changes, and access reviews, without sacrificing control or auditability.
Frequently asked questions
How can developers provision cloud resources without getting AWS console access?
They run a DevAutOps app scoped to that specific provisioning task. The app’s Trigger holds the cloud credentials; the developer only holds permission to run the app, never console or IAM access.
What is least-privilege self-service, and how does DevAutOps implement it?
It means granting exactly the access needed for one task, not a role. DevAutOps implements it through resource-level RBAC combined with Triggers that execute on the requester’s behalf using centrally held credentials.
Can I restrict a role to read-only on some services and full access on others?
Yes - roles are defined per service and per resource, not as a single blanket permission level, so read-only and complete access can be mixed within one role.
Is every run of a self-service app logged?
Yes - every Trigger execution is tracked with live status and usage history, giving you an audit trail for operations run without direct cloud access.
