Hi all, my team is gearing up to deploy our first model with metaflow. Our company doesn’t really have any K8S infrastructure, so we’ve been looking at deploying via Step Functions. When we brought this to our Dev Ops team they denied our request for

states:CreateStateMachine action

permissions to be assigned to our AWS profiles. They specifically stated that allowing individuals to run something like

python parameter_flow.py --with retry step-functions create

from their computer is SOX non-compliant, as it allows an individual to make changes to production resources without third party approval. Does anyone here have an alternative way to deploy flows that would be considered compliant? We’re an Azure Dev Ops shop, so an ADO pipeline seems like the most direct approach to me.

yep, you can deploy via a CI/CD system

Thanks ville, we’re looking into it now to see how much re-work it’ll take for ADO. For others looking at this thread, link to the repo that’s associated with the video ville shared.
