Pillar · Automation

Act without the terminal.

Every action in OpsLantern is metadata — discoverable, composable, safe. Dry-run, preview the commands, approve, execute, verify, roll back. Every step recorded.

Action specification

Metadata, not scripts.

Each action declares its parameters, pre-checks, risk level, rollback, and post-checks. The UI renders the form. The audit log writes itself.
