The combination of the ground truth from `osquery`, Fleets scalable orchestration, and the rigor of Infrastructure as Code provides something traditional vendors cannot: complete control over your environment. Fleet transforms device management from manual labor in the GUI into proactive infrastructure engineering with all the benefits that GitOps entails: your teams can see every change, undo any error, and repeat every success.
But, there is a catch: moving to code-based management requires new skills. How do you enable a standard IT admin to write `SQL` queries and `YAML` configurations without needing the expertise of a seasoned DevOps engineer?
