Technical Use Cases

Technical use cases you can support with Infrahub

Network Source of Truth (NSoT)

With Infrahub, network engineers can take advantage of a fully customizable schema to model their unique infrastructure, track multiple planned changes, render configurations in OpenConfig, YANG, or vendor-specific formats, and integrate with automation tools such as Nornir and Ansible to push changes to the network.

IP Address Management

Infrahub offers robust IPAM capabilities out of the box, including:

IP Address and prefix modeling
Namespaces: model distinct, isolated contexts for managing IP resources
Generic VRFs: Isolate and manage IP resources for each VRF, preventing address overlap.
Security zones: Align IP address management with security zones to ensure clear segmentation and compliance.
Hybrid designs: Differentiate and track IP resources across on-premises and cloud environments.
Multi-cloud: Isolate address spaces for multiple cloud providers to avoid conflicts and simplify management.
Regional compliance: Create zones for IPs tied to specific data sovereignty regulations.

EVPN Data Center Fabric

Automate a data center running VxLAN / EVPN and firewalls. Represent ASNs, devices, locations, VLANs, prefixes. Model topologies and topology elements, and manage security policies.

Drive Configuration, Push Automation

Model devices in Infrahub’s customizable schema, transform generic infrastructure model data to generate device-specific configurations, then automate via your own choice of tools such as Ansible and Nornir.

Build a Service Catalog

Infrahub enables you to capture all the building blocks of services into a custom data model, translate high-level service logic into technical implementations, then create user-facing catalogs to drive service provisioning.

Automate InfiniBand

Model InfiniBand switches, interfaces, management interfaces, rail-optimized scalable units (RSUs), and fabrics. Take advantage of Infrahub’s schema library to get started.

Implement Network CI/CD

Run an end-to-end network CI/CD process. Easily version the intended state of the network with proposed changes, perform internal consistency checks and production pre-checks as part of a Continuous Integration (CI) validation process, then push changes to the network and validate that the production state matches the intended state in a Continuous Deployment (CD) process.
