At HashiConf 2025, HashiCorp unveiled Project Infragraph, a real-time infrastructure knowledge graph inside the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP). It aims to connect infrastructure, applications, services, ownership, and policy into a single, trusted data substrate so operators and AI-driven agents can observe, reason, and act across hybrid and multi-cloud estates. In this short explainer I talk to my guest Richard Simon about what InfraGraph is, why it matters, how it compares to older data-center inventory tools, and the implications for automation, AI agents, and third-party tooling. Why it matters (short answer): - It solves the visibility & context problem that breaks Day-2 operations and multi-team change coordination. - It lays the foundation for agentic infrastructure, AI agents that can perform context-aware automation safely. 🔥 In this short video, we cover: - The core problem Infragraph tries to solve: fragmented state, no single source of truth, and brittle Day-2 ops. - How Infragraph aligns with Dev & Ops (platform engineering, SRE, IaC workflows). - How it plugs into HashiCorp’s existing backyard: Terraform stacks, Vault, Consul, HCP workflows, and policy engines. - Where Project Infragraph is today.
