  "account": "Env Zero has unveiled a control plane for agentic engineering workflows at the DevOpsCon & AI Platform Engineering Day event. This early access initiative allows teams to automatically detect divergence, decide on appropriate responses based on defined policies, and execute remediation. The platform, named EZ Control, is built on a modular foundation starting with a configuration management database (CMDB), acquired through CloudQuery acquisition. A new ontology layer has been added, incorporating 80 plugins spanning nearly 2,300 resource types, including Kubernetes clusters and cloud services from AWS, Google, and Microsoft. This ontology ensures continuous linkage of resources to their corresponding code, team ownership, cost, dependent resources, applicable policies, risks, and insights.\n\nAs a SaaS application requiring no instrumentation code, EZ Control leverages the topology and ontology to enable DevOps teams to express intentions in natural language. This converts into autonomous workflows that include necessary context for successful implementation. Every action follows the repository and review process that owns the resource, with a post-fix scan verifying closure and ensuring the workflow is always attributable, reversible, and auditable. DevOps teams can tune the level of automation applied via EZ Control, ranging from observation only to autonomous action within defined guardrails. The platform supports multiple IaC languages, encouraging adoption of the entire platform but also providing individual components separately to meet teams where they are in their AI journey.\n\nEnv Zero CEO Steve Corndell highlights the increasing issue of AI agents provisioning infrastructure at machine speed, creating resources that legacy IaC tools fail to see. This results in a widening gap as software engineers have no visibility or control over agentic engineering workflows. As the volume of AI-generated code increases, the need to automate DevOps workflows becomes more pressing. The challenge lies in achieving this at scale without requiring a large team of software engineers to maintain it.",
