Open Source Infrastructure Platform

IGN8

Infrastructure  /  Ignited

An opinionated, enterprise-grade open source stack that unifies secret management, asset inventory, source control, configuration management, monitoring, and observability — all wired together, ready to deploy.

Architecture

The Stack

Tightly-integrated modules, each solving a specific domain. Add components as your platform grows — the hub-and-spoke architecture scales with you.

Modules

The Components

Each module ships with sane defaults, documented integrations, and Ansible roles for automated deployment. Use them together or independently.

// 01
ign8vault
Secrets & Credential Management
Enterprise abstraction layer for secrets infrastructure. Unified API across multiple backends enables zero-trust credential management at scale — from dev to production without changing a single playbook variable reference.
HashiCorp VaultPasswordstateBitwarden1PasswordKeePass
// 02
ign8inventory
Asset & CMDB Management
Unified CMDB and network inventory management. Tracks infrastructure assets, network topology, and device lifecycle. Provides structured dynamic inventory to the automation layer — no more stale static host files.

// 03
ign8git
Source Control & Code Hosting
Self-hosted git with CI/CD pipelines — the single source of truth for all infrastructure code, playbooks, and configuration templates. Webhooks trigger ign8ansible runs automatically on merge.

// 04
ign8ansible
Configuration Management — Orchestration Hub
The orchestration core. Pulls dynamic inventory from ign8inventory, injects secrets from ign8vault, and executes playbooks from ign8git — idempotent, auditable configuration management across your entire estate.
AnsibleAWXSemaphoreARA
// 05
ign8mon
Monitoring & Alerting
Infrastructure monitoring with automated service discovery, threshold alerting, and Ansible playbook audit trails via ARA. Closes the feedback loop between what was deployed and what is healthy.

Observability & Reporting
Full-stack observability with centralised log aggregation, distributed tracing, and operational dashboards. Collects and correlates signals from every module for complete, actionable infrastructure visibility.

Design Philosophy

Opinionated
By Design

Most infrastructure projects leave integration as an exercise for the reader. Ign8 doesn't. We make deliberate choices so you don't have to — while keeping every door open to override.

01
Convention Over Configuration

Sensible defaults that follow proven enterprise patterns. Every module ships ready to run in an afternoon. Override what you need — trust the rest. The opinions are documented; nothing is magic.

02
Open by Default

Every tool in the stack is open source and self-hostable. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat licensing, no surprise pricing tiers. Your infrastructure, your data, your terms — indefinitely.

03
Enterprise Without Enterprise

Production-grade resilience, full audit logging, RBAC, and compliance tooling — without the enterprise price tag or closed-source trade-offs. Ign8 is what you'd build if you had the time.
