Preventing Errors at Scale: Meet Infrahub’s Version Management

One of the biggest operational challenges automation teams face is rapidly changing data.  Teams need to understand the how and why behind every change.  Whether this is for deploying deliverables, troubleshooting issues, or decommissioning environments, having a system that helps them manage their evolving information, safely becomes paramount.  That’s why the built in version management and branching in Infrahub can be a life saver for teams. 

With integrated version management groups get:

• Immutable Data History: Information is never truly gone.  Being able to view, diff, and restore to previous versions of data ensures that erroneous changes are never truly permanent. 
• Safe Environment for Changes:  Branches create a safe approach for teams to make changes, minor to major, without jeopardizing their main production data.
• Conflict Resolution:  Working with branches ensures engineers aren’t overwriting data or making a change that conflicts with others.
• Audit Trails:  The ability to track specific changes to specific versions or branches enables auditing of schema changes, artifact generations, data modifications and more.

To learn more about these topics you can read more about version management and branches in the official documentation.  Meanwhile, check out this short demo video that we created for Autocon2.  Here we walk through the version management and branching controls.
