Infrastructure as a Product

Deliver Infrastructure as a Product for Agentic Operations

Infrastructure delivery is evolving from scripts and IaC toward governed products. Infrastructure as a Product lets teams offer standardized, versioned offerings on demand instead of tickets or one-offs.

Platform teams deliver reusable products with policy, compliance, and lifecycle built in. Itential provides the orchestration and control layer to make this real across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Current Challenges

Ad Hoc Infrastructure Delivery Limits Platform Scale & AI Adoption

Most organizations still deliver infrastructure through manual requests, fragmented pipelines, and team-specific automation. This approach creates inconsistent experiences, slows delivery, and makes governance difficult to enforce.

As enterprises adopt platform engineering and explore AI-driven operations, these limitations become structural barriers. Without standardized delivery models and a unified control plane, self-service becomes risky and AI remains disconnected from real execution.

Inconsistent Infrastructure Experiences

Different teams provision infrastructure in different ways, undermining platform consistency and developer productivity.

Self-Service Without Control

Automation enables speed, but without orchestration and policy enforcement it introduces risk and drift.

Platform Teams as Ticket Queues

Without productized delivery, platform teams spend time fulfilling requests instead of building scalable platforms.

AI Without an Execution Layer

AI systems cannot safely act on infrastructure without a governed, auditable execution framework.

From Infrastructure as Code to Infrastructure as a Product

Infrastructure as a Product combines IaC’s technical foundation with Platform Engineering’s delivery model. Itential orchestrates both—turning version-controlled infrastructure definitions into self-service products with built-in governance and lifecycle management.

Why It Matters

Why Orchestration Is the Foundation of Infrastructure as a Product

Infrastructure as a Product requires more than templates or catalogs. It requires orchestration that coordinates tools, systems, and teams into a single delivery model.

Orchestration becomes the control plane of the modern operational stack. It connects infrastructure definitions to real execution, enforces policy, manages lifecycle state, and enables platforms and AI systems to operate with trust and predictability.

Deliver Standardized Infrastructure Products

Reduce environment delivery times by 70 to 90%, shifting from ticket-based fulfillment to on-demand platform consumption.

Accelerate Provisioning, Maintain Governance & Consistency

Provision compliant environments in hours instead of weeks, with policy and approvals enforced automatically.

Reduce Operational Friction Across Domains

Cut cross-team handoffs and rework by 50 to 70 percent through coordinated, end-to-end orchestration.

Scale Without Bottlenecks

Support 2 to 3x more applications and teams without adding platform or operations headcount.

Secure Execution Layer for Agents & Workflows

Enable AI-initiated infrastructure actions with 100% auditability and policy-controlled execution.

Simplify the Toolchain with Orchestration

Eliminate 30 to 50% of redundant scripts and point tools by unifying automation through a single control plane.

The Itential Platform

Itential is The Platform for Productized Infrastructure Delivery

Itential provides the orchestration layer that turns infrastructure definitions into consumable products. It sits above automation tools and below developer platforms, coordinating execution across domains with governance and control.

Platform teams use Itential to define, deliver, and operate infrastructure products consistently across hybrid environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Infrastructure as a Product means delivering infrastructure the same way product teams deliver software. Platform teams define standardized, versioned infrastructure offerings that developers can consume on demand through self-service. Each product includes automation, policy, security, and lifecycle management by default. Itential provides the orchestration and control layer that turns infrastructure definitions into governed, repeatable products across cloud, network, and on-prem environments.

+-

Infrastructure as Code focuses on provisioning resources. Self-service portals expose requests. Infrastructure as a Product goes further by orchestrating the full lifecycle of infrastructure products across systems and teams. With Itential, infrastructure products are delivered through coordinated workflows that enforce policy, manage state, and integrate approvals, compliance, and Day 2 operations into a single delivery model.

+-

Infrastructure as a Product is delivered through the Itential Platform, including Workflow Orchestration, Lifecycle Manager, Configuration Manager, Operations Manager, Itential Automation Gateway, and FlowAI. Together, these capabilities enable platform teams to define infrastructure products, orchestrate delivery across domains, enforce governance, and safely incorporate AI-driven actions.

+-

Yes. Itential is designed to orchestrate across existing tools rather than replace them. It integrates with Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines, ServiceNow, cloud providers, network controllers, and security platforms. This allows organizations to productize infrastructure delivery without rewriting automation or disrupting established workflows.

+-

Itential enables self-service by separating consumption from execution. Developers request infrastructure products through approved interfaces, while Itential orchestrates the underlying workflows with built-in approvals, policy enforcement, and audit logging. This allows teams to move fast without bypassing governance or introducing risk.

+-

Governance is embedded directly into orchestration workflows. Itential enforces role-based access, approval gates, policy checks, and compliance validation before and during execution. Every infrastructure product delivery is tracked with full auditability, ensuring consistent enforcement across cloud, network, and security domains.

+-

AI systems require a governed execution layer to safely act on infrastructure. Itential provides that layer. AI agents and LLMs can initiate infrastructure workflows through controlled interfaces, while Itential enforces policy, approvals, and auditability. FlowAI accelerates workflow creation and optimization while ensuring actions remain safe and compliant.

+-

Yes. Itential orchestrates the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from initial provisioning and onboarding through updates, scaling, remediation, and decommissioning. Platform teams can manage versioning, dependencies, and state consistently across all infrastructure products and environments.

+-

Rather than adding another point tool, Itential coordinates existing automation and platforms through a unified orchestration fabric. This reduces duplicate scripts, overlapping tools, and fragmented workflows, allowing teams to standardize delivery without forcing rip-and-replace initiatives.

 

+-

Platform engineering teams, cloud and network operations teams, and infrastructure leaders benefit most. Itential enables these teams to scale delivery, improve consistency, and support self-service and AI initiatives without increasing operational risk or headcount.
