Spacelift announced a partnership with Knox Systems under which the Spacelift Platform will achieve FedRAMP authorization and expand access to U.S. government customers. As part of the partnership, Knox Systems will use Spacelift as its infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platform of record to manage and scale its secure cloud environment across AWS, Azure and GCP.

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides a standardized, reusable approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud service offerings. This partnership will allow Spacelift to deliver its secure and scalable IaC platform to federal agencies by leveraging Knox's purpose-built, FedRAMP-ready cloud environment. The arrangement means that Spacelift is now on track to achieve FedRAMP authorization quickly, bringing flexible, policy-driven infrastructure automation to federal developers and DevSecOps teams.

As Knox grows its multi-cloud FedRAMP boundary and supports mission-critical applications for government-facing SaaS vendors, the Spacelift Platform will provide the automation, policy enforcement and control necessary for Knox to deploy infrastructure securely, consistently and at scale. The partnership reinforces Knox's commitment to delivering secure, scalable and compliant infrastructure for software vendors looking to enter and grow in the public sector.

"This partnership helps both our companies move more rapidly in providing vital automation and control capabilities to the U.S. government," said Pawel Hytry, CEO of Spacelift. "Knox has a purpose-built boundary and streamlined FedRAMP approach that makes it possible for us to meet the government's high bar for security-without slowing down our roadmap."

"Spacelift is exactly the kind of modern, developer-first platform we want to bring to government buyers," said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox. "The Spacelift Platform was the clear choice for our mission critical environments. They deliver the power and flexibility we need to manage a growing, complex infrastructure with confidence. The partnership will unlock a massive new market while empowering agencies to manage infrastructure more securely and efficiently."
