Platform engineers have long managed two disconnected realities: the infrastructure they define in code and the sprawling, ever-fluctuating assets that actually run in production. The merger of env0 and CloudQuery, announced today and closed March 12, 2026, aims to eliminate that split.
The combined company operates under the env0 brand and delivers what it calls the industry’s first Cloud Intelligence Platform. It continuously inventories every cloud resource while automatically aligning it to the desired state defined in IaC.
env0 brought governance at scale
env0 built its reputation as the control plane for Infrastructure as Code. It standardizes, secures, and automates Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Terragrunt, and Kubernetes deployments across any cloud.
Platform teams at PayPal, Broadcom, Paramount, and MongoDB use it to give developers self-service access without losing oversight. The platform handles everything from Day 0 provisioning to Day N operations, including guardrails, cost controls, and compliance.
CloudQuery delivers complete visibility
CloudQuery specialized in turning cloud infrastructure into searchable, queryable data. Its open-core engine discovers every running asset across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and beyond, then loads it into the database of choice. Security and platform teams at Fortune 100 banks and global fintechs relied on it for accurate, real-time multi-cloud inventories that traditional tools could not match.
One unified platform closes the operational gap that we have depended on people and scripts/shims to cross up to now. The new solution merges the two strengths: CloudQuery’s asset discovery feeds directly into env0’s automation engine. The result continuously scans what exists, compares it against IaC definitions, and remediates drift automatically.
Steve Corndell, CEO of the combined env0, explained the core problem they are solving for their customers:
“We kept hearing the same thing from customers: visibility without action and action without context both fall short. Customers need visibility, context, and action working together in one place.”
He added that AI-driven development widens the gap faster than ever, which aligns with what is clearly becoming a growing risk:
“As foundational models push code to production faster than ever before, that gap becomes a liability.”
Yevgeny Pats, CloudQuery founder and now CTO of env0, described the combined capability of the platforms as they begin 2026 together as one:
“CloudQuery was built to solve the visibility problem inherent in modern cloud infrastructure. Joining env0 allows us to close the loop between knowing what exists and taking action on it.”
The platform now supports security, compliance, FinOps, and performance management in a single pane of glass. Existing customers keep full access to both original services while the teams accelerate integrated features.
What env0 + CloudQuery means for platform teams
Enterprise tech teams and startup builders are facing a long-standing, and rapidly growing problem. They still fight with orphaned or shadow resources, configuration drift, and compliance surprises. This merger is positioned to eliminate the need to stitch together separate discovery and enforcement tools. Teams gain autonomous cloud operations that scale with AI-driven velocity and with no extra headcount required.
The combined leadership also includes Oved Lourie as Field CTO. The company plans deeper integration and will meet with enterprise teams at KubeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam.
Looking ahead
Cloud infrastructure has outgrown siloed tools. By uniting IaC governance with continuous asset intelligence, env0 positions platform engineering at the center of reliable, secure, and cost-effective cloud operations. The move reflects a the need for an industry shift: visibility alone is no longer enough, teams need action built in.
Because recommendations need to be actionable or they are no better than advice from a friend. The pace of infrastructure and application change can’t keep up with the old methods of building and operating our stacks.
Congratulations to both the env0 and CloudQuery teams, and we are looking forward to watching their combined value get amplified as 2026 turns into the year of AI infrastructure!
