The data foundation for modern automation
Infrahub on GitHub · Sandbox · Documentation · Discord
OpsMill builds Infrahub, the open-source data and automation platform for network, data center, and cloud infrastructure. Infrahub offers teams a graph-based, schema-first source of truth — purpose-built to be the validated data layer that automation tools and AI agents both depend on.
Most large-scale automation efforts do not fail because of automation logic. They fail because of the data underneath it.
Infrastructure data is typically fragmented across spreadsheets, IPAMs, CMDBs, and YAML files — without a consistent schema, version control, or reliable way to model relationships. This leads to:
- Fragile automation that is difficult to scale
- Risky changes with limited validation
- Significant operational overhead maintaining data consistency
Infrahub treats infrastructure data the way modern software treats source code: modeled, versioned, validated, and queryable.
- Multi-vendor configuration management with validation and drift detection
- Brownfield automation alongside existing tools
- Model services and automate the full lifecycle (provision → upgrade → decommission)
- Build self-service catalogs backed by infrastructure data
- Deploy repeatable environments (e.g. GPU fabrics, multi-site architectures)
- Reuse schemas and blueprints across environments
- Model relationships as a knowledge graph
- Enable AI systems to reason over infrastructure dependencies
| Schema flexibility | Version control on data | Graph queries | Validation & CI | AI-ready | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional CMDB / IPAM | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | partial | ✗ |
| GitOps with YAML | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | partial |
| Custom-built platform | varies | varies | varies | varies | varies |
| Infrahub | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
'Custom-built' platforms can match any of these capabilities — but at the cost of years of build time and ongoing maintenance. For a deeper side-by-side comparison, see How Infrahub compares.
Infrahub does not replace orchestration or monitoring systems. It provides the validated, intent-rich data those systems depend on.
OpsMill maintains a set of officially supported open-source projects that extend Infrahub across four areas:
- Developer tooling — a Python SDK and
infrahubctlCLI, a VS Code extension with schema validation and visualization, and a reusable schema library to accelerate modeling. - Production operations — Helm charts for Kubernetes deployment, plus backup and restore tooling.
- Integrations — an Ansible Collection, a Nornir plugin, and Infrahub Sync for federating data from Netbox, Nautobot, IP Fabric, and other systems.
- AI agents and assistants — an MCP server, Infrahub Skills for Claude, Cursor, and other AI coding assistants, and a Speckit preset for spec-driven AI development.
