EDA? Event Driven Automation.
EDA (pron. ee-dah) is the platform for automating your infrastructure.
In Kubernetes, a Pod looks like a Pod no matter what container runtime you use. So why doesn't an Interface look like an Interface no matter what OS you use? Why doesn't a BGP peer look like a BGP peer no matter the underlying implementation? When will infrastructure get its time in automation utopia?
Going beyond workloads
Imagine interacting with your infrastructure in a way that is consistent, using the same set of abstract primitives no matter what the underlying implementation is.
EDA is designed to be simple to use, but powerful enough to handle the most complex infrastructure setups.
Built for operations
Declare the final state of your infrastructure - the "what", not the "how".
Never be out of step again with event-driven-everything.
Drive change with confidence - know what will happen before it happens.
Automation for operations - state and maintenance have always been an automation afterthought. No longer.
All of this built and integrated with the toolchains you love, with the reliability you need for automating infrastructure.
What is an echidna?
You like hedgehogs, right? Well, echidnas are like hedgehogs, but bigger and better. They're also known as spiny anteaters, and they're one of the only mammals that lay eggs (the other being a platypus). Pretty neat eh?
None of that relates to automation, but we all need a mascot right? And echidnas are pretty cool. EDA the automation echidna is here to help you automate your infrastructure.
Key features
Declarative abstractions
Define the end state of your infrastructure in abstract terms, and let EDA take care of the rest. EDA will ensure that your infrastructure is always in the desired state.
Streaming drift control
Leveraging streaming telemetry for deviation management, EDA can detect and correct deviations from the desired state in real-time.
Event-driven-everything
Achieve massive scalability and real-time insights with event-driven automation. Do work only when it needs to done, no more churn via polling. A platform truly built around streaming telemetry.
Multi-x
Multi vendor, multi domain, multi cloud, multi everything. EDA is truly an open platform that can be extended to support any vendor, any domain, any cloud, and any technology.
Extensible by nature
Inheriting the best principles of Kubernetes, with nuance for infrastructure automation. EDA is designed to be extensible and flexible, allowing you to build on top of it.
Operations as code
Automation for state and operations without afterthought. Make the most complex tasks repeatable and reliable with workflows, dry runs, and automated pre and post checks.
