Preventing Errors at Scale: Meet Infrahub’s Version Management
Blog post from OpsMill
Automation teams often face significant challenges due to rapidly changing data, necessitating an understanding of the reasons behind these changes for tasks like deploying deliverables, troubleshooting, or decommissioning environments. Infrahub addresses these challenges with its built-in version management and branching capabilities, providing teams with several essential features. It offers immutable data history, allowing users to view, compare, and restore previous data versions to prevent permanent erroneous changes. Branches provide a safe environment for making changes without risking main production data, and they facilitate conflict resolution by preventing data overwrites or conflicting changes. Additionally, audit trails enable teams to track specific changes across versions or branches, aiding in the auditing of schema changes, artifact generations, and data modifications.
