Description

Open-Source Infrastructure Data Management : Infrahub Workshop

Infrahub reimagines infrastructure automation by combining Git-like version control capabilities on top of a graph database. The platform's three pillars - flexible schema, native version control, and unified storage - create an ideal teaching environment where participants can experiment with real-world scenarios in this hands-on workshop.

Module 1: Foundation (40 minutes) establishes core concepts. Participants begin with Infrahub's sandbox environment, creating their first network objects and understanding the relationship between schema, data, and version control. This foundation addresses the immediate need for practical source of truth implementation.

Lab 1: Network Source of Truth Setup (20 minutes) introduces participants to Infrahub's interface through basic device and IP address management tasks. Beginners focus on GUI navigation while advanced users explore CSV imports and API interactions. This foundational lab establishes confidence and familiarity with core concepts.

Module 2: Config Generation (40 minutes) builds on foundational knowledge by connecting Infrahub to existing automation tools. After covering concepts around GraphQL queries and Jinja2 templating, we will cover generating device configurations.

Lab 2: GraphQL Mastery (20 minutes) transforms participants from consumers to creators of network data queries. Using the built-in GraphiQL explorer, attendees progress from simple device queries to complex relationship traversals, preparing them for real-world data extraction and integration scenarios.
