Main Changes

New Logo and refresh of the frontend

Infrahub has a new logo and a new paint of colors based on a shade of blue.
Infrahub-SVG-hori

Infrahub's logo is inspired by a tree.
Why a tree ? because trees are composed of branches like Infrahub and the leaves on a tree have some similarities to the nodes on a graph.

User Management and Authentication

Infrahub now supports standard user management and authentication systems.

A user account can have 3 levels of permissions

  • admin
  • read-write
  • read-only

By default, Infrahub will allow anonymous access in read-only. it's possible to disable this feature via the configuration main.allow_anonymous_access or via the environment variable INFRAHUB_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS

Check the documentation for more details about the authentication framework

Enforcement of protected fields

Fields labeled as protected and that have an owner defined are now grey out in the frontend for everyone else.

Namespace for the Schema

All models for nodes and generics defined in the schema must now have a Namespace.
The introduction of Namespace will allow us to provide a better classification of the models as the schema grows. It will also allow us to better differentiate between internal and user provided models which will ultimately lead to a better user experience.

In the process we also removed the former attribute name on the model because it was highly redundant with the kind.
In the new format, a model is define by its namespace and its name, which together forms for the new kind
The kind doesn't have to be provided by the user anymore and it is generated by concatenating the namespace and the name 

Kind = Namespace + Name

In the example below, the kind of this model will be InfraRack 

nodes:
  - name: Rack
    namespace: Infra
    label: Rack

Impact on the GraphQL API

Previously the name was mainly used to generate the top level graphql query.
As a result of this change, the format of the GraphQL top level query are now using the Kind in CamelCase.

Before 

query {
    device {
        edges {
            node {
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

After 

query {
    InfraDevice {
        edges {
            node {
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

Groups

With the new Group model, it's now possible to create arbitrary groups of objects.
A group can be composed of members and subscribers and both can be objects of any types.

By default a CoreStandardGroup is available but it's possible to create new type of groups with additional attributes and/or relationships.

It's possible to retrieve the list of groups a given object is member of or subscriber of with the relationships
member_of_groups and subscriber_of_groups.

These 2 relationships will be automatically added to all objects in GraphQL.

We are just scratching the surface with the groups. Over time, Groups will have a major role in infrahub and they will act as glue between a lot of other features so stay tuned for more update in the next release.

Add Diff view for files in Git Repository

It's now possible to visualise the diff for the files that are part of a Git repository in the Branch View along with the diff for the data.

Support for Memgraph as the main database

In addition to Neo4j, it's now possible to run Infrahub on Memgraph.

The main benefits to use memgraph is its speed, especially on non-production environment.

The demo environment and the tests are now using Memgraph by default.

It's possible to start the demo environment with the flag --database=neo4j to switch to Neo4j.

Query all Generics Model directly from GraphQL

All generics models are now exposed at the top level of the GraphQL query by default.
This will make it much easier to query for generic nodes whithout having to go through the relationships of a given object.

Other Changes

  • Python SDK : Update query methods to allow user to select fields to query and not query all relationships by default @dgarros (#748)
  • Update infrahubctl to work with authentication + various fixes @dgarros (#742)
  • Change IPHost and IPNetwork graphql type to string @wvandeun (#713)
  • Improve deployment of the demo environment on Ubuntu and sudo environment
  • Initial prototype of a synchronization engine

Migration Guide

Rebuild the demo environment

It's mandatory to completely rebuild your demo environment with the following commands. 

invoke demo.destroy demo.build demo.init demo.start
invoke demo.load-infra-schema
invoke demo.load-infra-data

All data will be lost, please make sure to backup everything you need before running this command.

The repository https://github.com/opsmill/infrahub-demo-edge has been updated to reflect the latest format of the GraphQL API
it's recommend to pull the latest changes into your fork otherwise it won't work with the latest version of Infrahub.

Migrate your existing schema

To migrate an existing schema, you need to:

  • define the namespace
  • delete the current name since it's not used anymore
  • rename the current kind into name
  • (optional) add a label, otherwise the label will be generated from the new kind
