Case Study: Stacklet achieves faster, safer cloud policy development with Six Feet Up

Stacklet speeds policy development with Six Feet Up, cutting hours per policy

Stacklet, a company serving organizations with massive cloud footprints, needed to scale its Policy as Code capabilities for AWS and Azure using the Cloud Custodian (c7n) rules engine. Their challenge was to generate comprehensive policies efficiently despite inconsistent compliance requirements, gaps in tool coverage, and a manual verification process that was both risky and slow. Six Feet Up was engaged to address these scaling difficulties.

Six Feet Up built a structured governance model and a crosswalk application to map compliance requirements to Cloud Custodian policies. They used AI to accelerate policy generation and implemented an automated CI/CD testing workflow with infrastructure as code for safe verification. This solution provided Stacklet with faster, more predictable policy development, clearer visibility into coverage gaps, and safer testing in isolated environments. The system delivered by Six Feet Up allowed Stacklet to grow its Policy as Code capabilities as a repeatable and transparent process.
