What It Takes to Turn Infrastructure Automation Into a Service
From scripts to workflows to self-service, here’s how infra engineers can scale their impact with orchestration. If you’re building automations, you already know the grind. A script here. A playbook there. A one-off for that team. A workaround for that tool. Eventually, you’ve got a pile of point automations that work, mostly, but don’t scale, don’t connect,

From Scripts to Strategy: How Utilities Are Building the AI-Ready Grid with Automation & Orchestration
Utilities today are under pressure to modernize infrastructure while navigating growing complexity, regulatory scrutiny, and the accelerating shift toward AI-driven operations. For Southern California Edison (SCE) — one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S. — this meant rethinking the foundation of how infrastructure is managed, automated, and scaled. Like many utilities, SCE began

Server Compliance at Scale: Why Visibility, Consistency & Orchestration Matter More Than Ever
In today’s hybrid infrastructure environments, keeping server configurations secure and compliant has become exponentially harder — and more critical. Gone are the days when servers were static, few in number, and manually maintained. Now they’re spun up by the dozens across clouds, business units, and geographies — managed by fragmented teams, each with their own

Why I&O Leaders Must Rethink Infrastructure as a Product
I&O leaders must rethink delivery, embrace orchestration, and build for self-service — or risk being left behind. The pressure on infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders has never been higher. You’re being asked to deliver faster. Enable self-service. Govern for compliance. Integrate AI. Reduce costs. And somehow do it all with fewer resources and a decades-old

Audit Anxiety to Automated Assurance: Solving Real-World Configuration Challenges with Itential
Hybrid infrastructure is amazing for scale — and brutal for compliance. Every router CLI, cloud API, or SD-WAN controller you add multiplies the ways in which a security hole is introduced, routing is impacted, or an SLA is broken. Industry studies routinely list misconfiguration among the top causes of major outages, and audit teams know

Beyond the Tools: Solving the Hidden Challenges of Automation
When we talk about network automation, it’s easy to get caught up in the tools, the features, and the promise of faster, more reliable outcomes. But what I’ve learned, working with some of the most complex organizations out there, is that the real barriers to automation aren’t always technical. They’re the invisible challenges that show

Closing the Loop Isn’t Just a Demo — It’s the Future of Ops
When we say "closed-loop automation," we're not talking about a buzzword — we're talking about something I wish I had as a network engineer for years. Earlier this month, I joined my good friend John Capobianco from Selector for a live webinar where we walked through the integration between our platforms. It wasn’t slideware. It

From Headcount to Hypercode: How CodeLLMs Are Rewiring the Software Development Lifecycle
A New Chapter in Software Creation For decades, software delivery followed a familiar pattern: gather requirements, plan sprints, write code, test, and deploy — all through human-driven handoffs. But that playbook is changing fast. Enter CodeLLMs: Large Language Models fine-tuned for software engineering. These aren’t just copilots — they’re evolving into autonomous contributors capable of

Taming the ‘Frankenstein’s Monster’ of Network Automation
"Before you know it, you’ve got 15 Frankensteins running around with a lot of overlap and a lot of distinctness." That’s how one network engineer described the chaos of homegrown automation in our 2025 EMA report, a research project Itential proudly partnered on to shine a light on the wild world of network automation. As
