Infrastructure Automation Needs to Evolve
Existing solutions for automating infrastructure are split between infrastructure-oriented tools that provide structured, queryable data models, and GitOps approaches that offer versioning and CI pipelines. Both are necessary for long-term automation success.
To compensate, IT teams have been forced to build home-grown integrations that are complex and hard to maintain.
Infrahub brings these worlds together in a single platform with an extensible data model, versioning, artifact rendering, and CIÂ validation so network and infrastructure teams can build reliable and sustainable automation for the long haul.
Network Infrastructure
With Infrahub, network engineers can track multiple planned changes, render configurations in OpenConfig, YANG or vendor-specific formats, and integrate with automation tools such as Nornir or Ansible to push changes to the network.
Infrastructure Security
Security teams can model network security policy to maintain and auto-generate firewall rulesets, eliminating never-ending ruleset creep and compliance challenges.
Cloud Infrastructure
Infrahub augments your multi-cloud deployment solutions by representing cloud inventory data in a provider-agnostic way, allowing for deployment automation via tools such as Terraform, Pulumi and Crossplane.
Source of Truth + Version Control Â
Infrahub offers a central hub to manage the data, templates and playbooks that power the network by combining the version control and branch management of Git with the flexible data model and UI of a graph database. Â Â
A New Source of Truth
Unify and Synchronize the data and files that power the infrastructure into a centralized hub with a user-defined schema and graph database. Â
Flexible Data Model: An extensible schema enables data synchronization and updates without the need for fragile and complex customizations.
Aggregate &Â Synchronize Data: Integrate and enrich data from multiple sources by adding metadata & transformations inside the database.
Custom Integrations: Connect Infrahub with existing ‘sources of truth’ and infrastructure tools.
Configuration and Templates: Centralize configuration and template management.
Global View of the Network State
Infrahub provides a global view of the desired network state with a powerful query engine and a user interface offering full context, including data lineage, logs, and relationships between data.
Global Infrastructure View: Visibility into the infrastructure and its relationships.
Advanced Query Engine: Query data via APIs or the user interface.
Data Lineage: Trace the origin and ownership of each piece of data.
Immutable Database: Access the complete historical state of network data.
Built-in Git protocols
Simplify and speed up network maintenance and updates with peer review, validation, and CI pipeline, reducing risks and increasing efficiency.
Risk Reduction: Minimize errors in network updates.
Complex Updates: Facilitate simultaneous and complex updates.
Validation and Control: Ensure compliance and quality with integrated validations.
Change Log: Track all changes for complete transparency.
Infrahub for Network Teams
Enables network teams to centralize network data and deliver on the needs of the business faster with less resources.
Simplify and accelerate network operations and automation
Transform your network operations with advanced automation, streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency.
Rendering of configurations – Transform data about infrastructure elements such as network devices, firewalls, applications, and cloud into vendor-specific formats for every change.
Built-in workflows leveraging Nornir and Ansible to push changes to the network.
Deploy network updates with confidence
Reduce time and uncertainty during planning and implementation cycles for network updates with unified data/source of truth, visibility into historic and future states of the network and peer review/validation.
more efficient CI pipeline: Fast track known changes – Only run the tests that are needed for changes. Only run tests on data that has changed instead of entire suite of tests.
Network updates or planning
Simplify planning and accelerate network updates – from routine maintenance and upgrades to complex new projects required by the business.
Model and plan for the impact of proposed updates.
Perform routine maintenance and updates in less time with reduced risk.
Accelerate and de-risk the required network updates.
Complete complex migrations in half the time without the pain of customizations.
Quickly troubleshoot and fix network issues with full visibility and historic context.
Query network information via API and GraphQL or manage in the UI.
View logs, origin and history on all updates and data enabling easy root cause analysis and traceability.
How it Compares
Infrahub merges Git’s version control with a graph database for intuitive, powerful infrastructure management. This provides clear visibility and context, streamlining problem-solving and decision-making.
