xyz-strata 0.1.1

Python infrastructure platform for managing VM workspaces and clusters to deploy and maintain an automated container orchestration platform.

strata

You already have Terraform. The problem is you have eight environment folders — dev, staging, prd, prd-eu, prd-us, dr, sandbox, perf — and they are 90% identical. Every change gets applied to one folder, forgotten in three others, and you only find out when production drifts. strata is a YAML config layer over Terraform, Helm, and scripts that treats your environments as data, not as copy-pasted folders. One source of truth, one command to validate it, one command to deploy it.

Quick Start

pipx install xyz-strata                        # install
strata sln init                                             # scaffold a new config workspace
strata validate --file stack/my-environment.yaml        # validate before you touch anything
strata deploy run --file deploy/my-environment.yaml     # deploy to the target environment

New here? See the Getting Started guide for the full walkthrough. Dev install: uv sync.

Automation & AI Agents

Set STRATA_OUTPUT=json once (or strata config set output json) and every command returns a structured JSON envelope on stdout:

{
  "success": true,
  "command": "validate",
  "execution_id": "fb063135-...",
  "timestamp": "2026-05-18T14:31:47.267924",
  "data": { "validation_passed": true, "errors": [] },
  "messages": [],
  "errors": []
}

Key conventions for automation:

Concern	Guidance
Output format	Always use --output json or STRATA_OUTPUT=json
Exit codes	0 success · 1 system failure · 2 bad args · 3 validation failure
Workspace	Set STRATA_WORK_PATH to target a workspace without cd
Error stream	In console mode, errors go to stderr; structured JSON always goes to stdout
Execution correlation	execution_id in the envelope maps directly to strata audit list --execution-id <id>
Env-var overrides	Every CLI flag has an XYZ_<OPTION> equivalent (STRATA_VERBOSE=true, STRATA_QUIET=true, …)

Safe read-only commands that work outside an initialized workspace (INIT_REQUIRED=False): validate, status, schema list, schema get.
