Provider and configuration automation

Provision with Python. Configure with Ansible.

IntelliconOps combines provider-aware Python modules for Azure infrastructure with validated Ansible workflows for repeatable post-provisioning configuration.

Tracked workflow

Preflight
Validate placement, image, quota and permissions.
Python provider step
Create or operate the Azure resources.
Ansible configuration
Apply the approved guest configuration.
Validation
Confirm service health and record the outcome.

One governed workflow

Keep infrastructure and configuration connected.

Blueprint Studio defines the ordered workflow. IntelliconOps then tracks provider provisioning and guest configuration as separate, visible phases of the same job.

  • Provider-aware execution through a private Python worker
  • Ordered and dependency-aware Ansible workflow steps
  • Step-level attempts, outputs, errors and timestamps

Clear responsibilities

Use each automation layer for the work it does best.

Provider automation

Python handles the cloud resource lifecycle.

The authenticated worker selects the configured provider adapter and performs the approved operation through the Azure SDK.

  • Preflight, discovery, pricing and provider validation
  • Resource creation and day-two lifecycle actions
  • Sanitised results, correlation identifiers and resource records

Guest automation

Ansible configures the service inside the machine.

Once Azure reports the VM ready, approved Ansible steps apply the operating-system and application configuration defined by the blueprint.

  • Idempotent operating-system and service configuration
  • Bounded execution with syntax and policy validation
  • Health checks and tracked post-provisioning outcomes

Inside Blueprint Studio

Build the complete workflow from an AI-assisted proposal.

The prompt proposes a revision; each tab makes the resulting service definition visible for human review before it is validated and published.

1

Overview and AI revision

Review the blueprint identity, approval requirement and day-two actions while prompting the configured AI integration for a proposed change.

2

Request form

Define typed request fields, required values, defaults and UI hints instead of accepting arbitrary input.

3

Provisioning workflow

Inspect the ordered guest-readiness, Python provider and embedded Ansible workflow definition.

4

Maintenance actions

Add versioned operational workflows and refer to sensitive values through vault references rather than inline secrets.

5

Changes and publication

Compare the draft with its published base, record a changelog and explicitly publish an immutable semantic version.

6

Validation

Confirm the workflow contract, guest-readiness steps and Ansible syntax checks passed before publication.

7

Complete source

Inspect the complete provider-neutral blueprint document that brings metadata, schema and workflows together.

Built for recoverability

Resume configuration without rebuilding successful infrastructure.

Provider ready

Azure provisioning completes and its resource result is retained before guest automation begins.

Configuration tracked

Each required Ansible or validation step records its status, attempts, bounded output and timing.

Failure isolated

A required post-provisioning failure marks configuration as failed without discarding the provider result.

Resume safely

An authorised retry preserves successful steps and continues from the first failed workflow step.

Execution safeguards

Reviewable automation with bounded execution.

  • Generated workflow and Ansible content remains a draft until reviewed
  • Unsafe modules, sensitive inline values and invalid syntax are rejected
  • Vault references resolve only when an executable step is sent to the worker
  • Temporary playbook files are removed after isolated execution
  • Timeouts, retries and output size are constrained by the workflow contract
