Server provisioning
Bare-metal + VM provisioning templates. Ansible / cloud-init compatible.
Infrastructure automation — without the YAML soup.
Infrastructure automation usually means a patchwork of Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Helm and bash scripts. NIP Platform unifies the runtime: server registration, configuration, deploys, backups, monitoring and security posture happen on the same control plane — templated, repeatable, audit-trailed.
You don't have to throw away your existing IaC; Terraform and Ansible can still feed into NIP. The platform is the runtime layer that knows the current state of your fleet and reconciles changes safely.
What you get
What infrastructure automation covers
Configuration
Per-tenant, per-role configuration with audit and rollback. Secret management built in.
Deploys
Templated deploys with healthcheck, lock, rollback. Per-site rate limit.
Security posture
Auto-provisioned protections (firewall, backup, TLS, monitoring, IAM) based on score.
Rollout
How automation rolls out
01
Inventory
Servers + VMs + K8s nodes registered with role tags.
02
Templates
Provision, config, deploy, backup templates per role / tenant.
03
Triggers
Git push, schedule, manual or AI-assistant trigger.
04
Audit
Every templated action shows in the audit log with full diff + rollback.
Frequently asked questions
Infrastructure automation — questions
Replace Terraform / Ansible?
No — they can still feed into NIP. The platform is the runtime layer that holds current state, runs reconciliation, audits actions and gives a UI on top.
Idempotent?
Yes — every templated action has an idempotency key. Re-running a templated provision yields the same outcome.
Can the AI assistant trigger automation?
"Provision a staging server with the standard template" → templated action, RBAC-checked, audit-logged. Always reviewable before execution.
Cloud + on-prem?
Yes — bare-metal, XCP-ng, cloud VMs (EC2, GCP, Azure) all in one inventory with the same templates.
