Network Automation
Standardize automation execution across your infrastructure with Itential.
Your Challenges
To keep up with managing today’s distributed infrastructure, network engineers are building automations with open-source tools like Ansible, Python, and OpenTofu, each with their own unique execution environment – lacking the ability to both securely administer and share these automations across teams and expose them for self-serve consumption.
Lack of centralized automation management leads to challenges such as:
- Scattered pockets and silos of automations across the organization, leading to inefficiency, security risks, and limiting re-use by other teams.
- Difficulty in executing automation workloads across various on-prem and cloud tooling and technologies.
- Inability to manage, secure, share, and administer automations across teams.
- Custom building bespoke applications to manage automations, resulting in less time building more automations.
- Lack of comprehensive audit logs to know when an automation runs, who ran it, and its results for policy compliance.
