Consistent and accurate resource labeling is essential in cloud environments. However, manual or inconsistent practices often result in labels that are incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.

Learn how to restructure and label infrastructure using Backstage components as the source of truth for metadata. With an open-source Terraform provider for Backstage, metadata and labels are automatically injected, keeping them consistent and up-to-date with every plan. To ensure reliability, a metadata wrapper module was developed, and the provider’s resiliency enhanced, preventing Backstage outages from disrupting deployments.

This session will provide a clear understanding of how to integrate Terraform with Backstage to enable automated label injection by structuring infrastructure around components. Attendees will also gain actionable insights to bridge the gap between infrastructure management and the Backstage metadata catalog.
