Infrahub + Kriten: Making Cross-Team Automation Simple and Secure
Blog post from OpsMill
Infrahub and Kriten offer a comprehensive solution to streamline infrastructure automation across teams by integrating data management with execution capabilities. Infrahub serves as a centralized platform for storing and managing infrastructure data, utilizing a graph database to define customizable schemas and generating configuration artifacts in formats like Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests. This data is version-controlled and validated, ensuring consistency and compliance. Kriten, an API-first automation engine, transforms scripts into secure REST API endpoints, allowing for reliable and scalable execution of tasks across different domains without requiring teams to master each tool. By using Infrahub to model infrastructure data and Kriten to handle task execution, organizations can automate workflows like network device configuration, multi-cloud provisioning, and GitOps for infrastructure, while maintaining robust security through features like RBAC, audit trails, and enterprise SSO. This integration not only facilitates cross-domain automation but also enhances governance, scalability, and operational efficiency, making it an ideal framework for modern DevOps practices.
