Gateway expands the Integrity platform to help you get the most from your network.
Talk to us about how to use Gateway to unlock automated end-to-end workflows and seamless integration with third-party tools like ServiceNow and Terraform.
What is Gateway?
Gateway is a Python-based platform that brings together all the building blocks for automating DNS operations into a simple and intuitive development environment. Gateway uses an API with a set of Python classes for integrating third-party solutions with Integrity’s BlueCat Address Manager or BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server, or with Edge.
Users can create custom integrations and plugins that automate DDI-related tasks and streamline network operations. It’s a simple, powerful, and versatile hub for everything from common self-service forms to complex automation workflows.
Accelerate internal requests with self-service IP provisioning
Use our ServiceNow integration to allow compliant self-service network provisioning via tickets for development, DevOps, cloud, and other teams. Gateway will automatically create blocks and scopes that comply with user rules, according to your logic.
Automate configuration management
Create and update key resources such as networks, IP addresses, and DNS records in near real-time. BlueCat’s integration with Terraform means you can apply automation to ensure your BlueCat environments are consistently maintained. Automate against a single source of truth when deploying to public and private cloud environments.
Unlimited DDI customization
Unlike other DDI providers, we’re not trying to lock you into your box. The BlueCat Applications Catalog is a collection of applications and plugins that support deep customization—to make your Integrity investment work as hard as possible for you.
Automate workflows
Gateway’s intuitive UI empowers authorized users to create automation that executes repeatable and complex tasks that comply with your policies—so your cloud and DevOps teams can iterate quickly and safely.
