The Challenge
Modern DevOps and Platform Engineering teams need to move fast, building, testing, and validating software in production-like conditions without disrupting shared environments. Yet provisioning new OpenShift clusters is often slow, complex, and expensive. Teams waste time waiting for infrastructure, managing shared resources, and cleaning up stale environments. All of this slows delivery, increases risk, and consumes budget.
Sandbox-as-a-Service
Li9's Automated Ephemeral OpenShift Clusters solution empowers your teams with self-service, isolated, and temporary OpenShift clusters that can be spun up, tested, and torn down in minutes without manual intervention. This service uses OpenShift Virtualization and Ansible Automation Platform to deliver on-demand cluster provisioning and decommissioning. Each environment is fully automated, production-like, and ready for CI/CD integration, giving your developers and QA engineers a true sandbox-as-a-service.

Why Ephemeral Clusters
Ephemeral clusters bring the agility of cloud-native practices to your on-prem or hybrid environments:
Feature branch testing for microservices in isolated, production-like environments.
Infrastructure change validation before deploying to production clusters.
Upgrade and migration dry-runs to reduce risk and validate procedures.
CI/CD pipeline integration for automated testing workflows.
Training, demos, or compliance sandboxes without impacting production.
Optional Add-ons
Integrate ephemeral cluster provisioning with your existing ITSM workflows. Create clusters directly from ServiceNow requests or Jira tickets, with automatic tracking and lifecycle management.
Deep integration with your CI/CD pipelines for fully automated testing workflows. Trigger cluster creation from pull requests, run tests, and automatically tear down when complete.
Li9 can provide ongoing support and maintenance for your automation framework, including updates, troubleshooting, and enhancements as your needs evolve.
Extend ephemeral cluster capabilities across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, provisioning clusters on AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premises infrastructure.
