Hi, I&#x27;m a member of the team that built Gyro.<p>Gyro, a command-line cloud automation and management tool, started as internal tool over 5 years ago. We had a vision of building one tool that would pull together several different tools (Chef, Service Discovery, Authentication, Deployments, etc) into a single interface that would greatly simplify the day to day management of our systems. This goal was very successful in transitioning to a DevOps model. Our developers are able to make configuration changes, do their own deployments, and build there own test environments without help from the operations team. And most importantly they&#x27;ve embraced this model because it gave them the power to make changes without waiting for an operations team and in turn it helped the operations team by reducing their work.<p>We decided to clean up the code and open source it. The result is Gyro (getgyro.io).<p>What makes this different than what exists?<p>- Designed with logic (for loops, if conditions, etc) from the beginning (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;guides&#x2F;language&#x2F;control-structures.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;guides&#x2F;language&#x2F;control-structures.html</a>)<p>- Workflows provide the ability to stage complex changes and rollback (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;guides&#x2F;workflows&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;guides&#x2F;workflows&#x2F;</a>)<p>- Extensions allow for tight integrations with other operations tooling (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;extending&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyro.dev&#x2F;extending&#x2F;</a>)<p>For some screenshots of Gyro see (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getgyro.io&#x2F;introducing-gyro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getgyro.io&#x2F;introducing-gyro</a>), source is available one Github (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;perfectsense&#x2F;gyro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;perfectsense&#x2F;gyro</a>)<p>We&#x27;re really excited to open source Gyro and see how people extend it!
