Blog post from OpsMill
Infrahub 1.8 enhances infrastructure automation by integrating file objects as first-class data, automating resource allocation from templates, and improving branch lifecycle management. This update allows infrastructure teams to store and relate critical supporting documents, such as contracts and compliance reports, directly within the infrastructure graph, streamlining data accessibility and synchronization. Resource allocation is now automatic during object creation, reducing operational friction and increasing predictability in service catalogs and provisioning systems. The release also ensures that proposed change diffs remain accessible even after branch deletion, simplifying audits and incident investigations. Infrahub 1.8 introduces an update feature for external Git repositories, enabling easier synchronization of schema definitions and automation logic. Additionally, it offers production-ready backup support for Kubernetes deployments, ensuring a consistent and reliable approach to data protection. These improvements, along with various user interface enhancements and reliability upgrades, solidify Infrahub as a comprehensive source of truth for infrastructure teams, facilitating scalable and trustworthy automation.
