Status: partly live. Read-only import and reconciliation are live for the
platform’s core domains: devices, addressing, and VLANs. They hold zero drift
against the live estate. Remaining domains and the inventory-serving phase are
still ahead.
One authoritative model of what exists, so agents and automation stop guessing from three half-current lists.Infrastructure state lives in several places at once: the IaC that provisions it, hand-maintained inventory, and DNS. When those drift, automation acts on stale facts. A source-of-truth (SSoT) platform collapses them into one model of devices, addresses, and their relationships that both people and agents can query.
The migration story
The platform earns trust before it holds any, in three deliberate phases:1
Read-only import
The platform imports existing state from the IaC and
current inventory and presents it for review. It is a mirror at this stage,
authoritative of nothing and safe to compare against reality.
2
Reconcile
Drift between the imported model and the live estate is resolved
in the model, so it becomes the accurate picture rather than another stale one.
3
Serve
Only once the model is trusted does automation read from it:
dynamic inventory for configuration runs, and answers for agents that would
otherwise scrape several sources.
Phases 1 and 2 are live for the platform’s core domains: read-only import and
reconciliation hold zero drift against the live estate. Remaining domains and
phase 3 (serve) are still ahead.
