Auditable Intelligence in action on Planton Cloud platform. It uses a scenario, where Bala (a back-end engineer) creates and manages a Redis instance. This demonstration highlights how every action—create, update, and delete tracked and visible through version history, different views, and commit messages.

1. Quick Action to Create a Redis Instance

   • Bala opens the quick-action panel and types “deploy redis.”
   • He selects the “Deploy Redis (Redis)” option and is redirected to the Create Form.
   • Bala changes the default resource name (e.g., to main-06) and submits the form.
   • A pop-up prompts Bala for a commit message, where he enters,

     “Creating new Redis instance for dev environment”

   • Planton and Cloud provisions the resource (you’ll briefly see the Stack Jobs or IAC workflow page confirming this).

2. Viewing the Newly Created Version

   • From the resource’s Details page, Bala clicks on the “Versions icon”.
   • He sees the new Version Record labeled with his commit message, timestamp, and his username.
   • Clicking on “Show Diff” (or “Full Version”) reveals a YAML representation of the resource.
   • Because this is the first version, the diff shows that everything was added (all lines are green).

3. Updating the Resource Configuration

   • Still on the resource’s Details page, Bala clicks “Edit” and changes the memory request from 50Mi to 100Mi.
   • Again, a commit message prompt appears. He enters, > “Updated memory to 100Mi”
   • After saving, a new Version Record appears under the “Versions” tab.
   • In the diff view, the change from 50Mi to 100Mi is color-coded (showing what was removed in red and added in green).

4. Deleting the Resource

   • Bala clicks “Delete” and confirms by typing the resource ID.
   • He enters a commit message explaining why the resource is no longer required:

   “Deleting the resource since it is no longer needed”

   • A third Version Record is created, showing this deletion action.
   • The diff indicates everything has been removed (all lines are red), confirming the resource state is now empty.

5. Link to IAC Workflows

   • Each version is tied to a Stack Job (IAC workflow).
   • By clicking the IAC status icon next to any version, Bala can see whether the infrastructure change successfully deployed, is in progress, or encountered an error.
   • This direct connection simplifies troubleshooting and ensures real-time visibility into infrastructure states.

6. Restoring the Resource (Optional)

   • If needed, Bala (or another team member like Bharat) could click “Restore” on a deleted version to roll back the resource to its previous state.
   • A new version would then be created, complete with a restore commit message and an updated YAML configuration.

Key Takeaways

• Every Action Logged: Creation, updates, deletions, and restores all produce new, chronological versions.
• Commit Messages for Clarity: Each change is annotated with a short description so the entire team understands why something changed.
• Instant Diffs: Compare any two versions side by side or in a unified view to see exactly what lines were added, removed, or modified.
• IAC Integration: Each version links to the actual infrastructure deployment status, ensuring no guesswork about what is live in the cloud.
• Full Traceability & Compliance: Auditable Intelligence captures the who, what, and when of every resource change—essential for compliance reviews and quick troubleshooting.

Where This Fits in the Larger Picture

This hands-on demonstration aligns perfectly with the Auditable Intelligence feature set described in the sales-focused web page script. It shows you:

• How commit messages and version records capture the full context around each resource change.
• The power of Diff Views for pinpointing the smallest configuration adjustments.
• How “self-service” DevOps remains fully accountable through built-in audit trails.

Whether you’re managing critical microservices or running large-scale applications, Planton and Cloud’s Auditable Intelligence provides the transparency and control you need to move fast while staying compliant.

Use this scenario to showcase the real-world ease of tracking changes with Planton and Cloud’s Auditable Intelligence. It can be incorporated into product demos, tutorials, or training sessions to illustrate how straightforward it is to manage cloud resources without sacrificing compliance or clarity.
