Quali Simplifies Infrastructure as Code with Artificial Intelligence to Automate Orchestration of Application Environments
AUSTIN, Texas, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quali, a leading provider of platform engineering solutions for infrastructure automation and management, announced today the launch of new artificial intelligence (AI) functionality for its Torque platform that accelerates the orchestration of application environments based on Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) resources.
Quali Torque is a platform engineering tool that accelerates productivity and improves efficiency by providing a simplified developer platform to provision and maintain application infrastructure and environments securely. This process relies on reusable templates—referred to as "Blueprints" in the platform—that define the application infrastructure, services, parameters, dependencies, and security credentials needed to provision those resources and generate the live environment.
Torque's new AI Blueprint Designer provides an intuitive AI interface where users can describe the environment and configurations they need and generate a functional Blueprint file automatically—thereby eliminating the need to architect and build application environments manually.
After generating Blueprints via Torque's AI Blueprint Designer, Torque users can benefit from Torque's functionality as a developer platform for provisioning application environments faster and more efficiently. Blueprint creators can launch—and enable their teammates to launch—environments based on their auto-generated Blueprints via Torque's self-service catalog, while also automating recurring actions on their live environments and enforcement of cloud governance policies to prevent misconfigurations, security risks, wasted cloud costs, or other unapproved infrastructure.
For example, a user with administrator-level permissions for creating a blueprint may submit a prompt such as:
Create a blueprint for an Amazon EKS cluster within a VPC that includes deployment of Apache and Redis applications within the cluster to ensure high availability, security, and efficient resource management.
Based on the resources in the user's repositories that match those descriptions, Torque will design the environment and create a reusable template for the code needed to provision it.
This experience expands upon Quali's mission to accelerate productivity by simplifying and enabling the use of advanced cloud-native technology regardless of expertise or skillset.
Key Highlights:
"This is the future of how DevOps and platform teams will interact with Infrastructure as Code," said Lior Koriat, CEO, Quali. "For years, the ecosystem of platforms supporting IaC were designed only for experts in IaC tools and cloud platforms. Today, AI and platform engineering principles cut through the complexity to make IaC accessible for anyone who needs to use it. While this approach will undoubtedly make developers happier, the impact in terms of cloud ROI, productivity, and application release timelines will be immense."
"By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, Quali's new AI Blueprint Designer transforms the way application environments are created and managed," said David Williams, SVP of Product Strategy, Quali. "This innovation not only simplifies the use of Infrastructure as Code but also democratizes access to advanced cloud-native technologies, driving greater efficiency, productivity, and agility across development and operations teams. With these advancements, Quali reaffirms its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the modern enterprise."
