Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has emerged as the fifth-largest cloud provider, offering a comprehensive set of services to enable businesses to run applications in a highly available, secure, and scalable environment. OCI adoption can be streamlined using the Thunder framework, which comprises modules designed for automating resource provisioning with Terraform. Spacelift is an alternative CI/CD automation tool that enhances workflows by integrating OCI with additional features such as stack dependencies, security vulnerability tools, and self-service infrastructure capabilities.
