CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

Automate your configuration lifecycle at scale

The challenge

Network configuration management can start simply enough but quickly get out of control as customers, sites, and services grow.

Configuration management reverts to manual tasks when Day 1 scripts can’t be reused for Day 2 operations like upgrades, modifications, and decommissioning.
Massive amounts of time are wasted when systems regenerate configurations for every device even when only a handful changed.
Configuration drift goes undetected because there’s no authoritative source of intended state to compare against actual device configurations.
Design intent is lost when context documented in spreadsheets and diagrams never makes it into configuration templates.
Lifecycle automation becomes impossible when workflows can’t reliably handle provisioning, upgrades, and decommissioning at scale.

The solution

Infrahub’s transformation engine generates device configurations from authoritative data using reusable scripts and templates that work across your entire device lifecycle. Instead of DIY scripts that break after initial deployment, you get tested workflows that handle Day 0 provisioning, Day 1 configuration, and Day 2 operations at scale.

Intelligent tracking understands which configurations have changed and need regeneration, eliminating the waste of rebuilding everything. Design intent lives in your scripts and templates alongside the data, automatically incorporating business logic and technical requirements into every configuration generated.

Whether you’re provisioning new sites, pushing updates across thousands of devices, or managing hardware refreshes, Infrahub makes configuration management repeatable and reliable. Constant manual intervention turns into automated lifecycle management that scales with your network.

TRANSFORMATIONS

Turn data into deployable artifacts

Generate device configurations, documentation, or any structured output using Python or Jinja2 templates. Infrahub transforms your data into the specific formats your tools and devices need, whether that’s CLI commands, XML, JSON, or YAML. Reusable templates work across Day 0 provisioning, Day 1 configuration, and Day 2 operations.

UNIFIED STORAGE

Eliminate wasted regeneration

Store data, templates, and generated artifacts together in one system that tracks dependencies between them. When data changes, Infrahub knows exactly which configurations need regeneration and which can stay cached. Scale configuration management efficiently without rebuilding everything for small updates.

VALIDATION & TESTING

Catch errors before deployment

Define custom checks that auto-validate your data meets business and technical requirements. Add steps that check configuration syntax, verify operational state, or connect to simulation tools that mirror your production environment. Built-in support for unit testing and integration testing ensure problems are caught early, not during deployment.

VERSION CONTROL

Track configuration evolution over time

Every template change and generated configuration is versioned automatically, creating a complete audit trail of how your network configurations evolved. Compare any two versions to see exactly what changed, understand why configurations differ across devices, and maintain configs as versioned standards that evolve with your network.

INTEGRATIONS

Deploy with your existing tools

Connect Infrahub to your deployment automation through tools such as Ansible, Nornir, or Terraform, or integrate with orchestration platforms via webhooks. Generated configurations are retrieved by REST API and deployed using the tools your team already knows. Infrahub becomes the trusted source while your workflows stay intact.
