Modern infrastructure teams are under pressure to deliver environments faster while maintaining strict security, governance, and architectural standards. Yet provisioning in the cloud is rarely a single tool problem. Every deployment depends on inputs and actions that span multiple domains including networking, security, identity, platform, and cloud native services. Terraform/OpenTofu or cloud APIs can automate individual steps, but no single engine coordinates the full end-to-end process. The result is slow delivery, inconsistent environments, and manual steps that introduce risk.

This session demonstrates how an orchestration engine can deliver true zero touch cloud provisioning by governing and coordinating all the underlying automation tooling. You’ll learn how Itential unifies IaC workflows, data collection, approvals, and validation into a single governed process that ensures each step executes with the right prerequisites and context. Instead of chaining scripts or passing tickets between teams, Itential coordinates the entire provisioning lifecycle and integrates seamlessly with Terraform Cloud, cloud provider APIs, ITSMs, and network systems.

We’ll walk through a technical example that demonstrates the orchestration pattern in action. The end result is a repeatable, compliant provisioning pipeline that reduces delivery time, eliminates human error, and accelerates cloud adoption.


What you’ll see in the live demo:
  • Start with a provisioning request initiated through a ticket or developer portal.
  • Orchestrate prerequisite tasks such as IP allocation, DNS setup, and security checks.
  • Inject collected values into a Terraform Cloud run.
  • Monitor and react to Terraform execution results.
  • Invoke cloud native validation APIs to confirm successful deployment.
  • Close the ticket and notify teams with full traceability.

Engineers will leave with a clear understanding of how orchestration sits above their existing tools to deliver consistent, governed zero touch provisioning across any cloud environment.
