Itential Automation Gateway (IAG) is an on-prem execution engine that runs scripts, workflows, and AI-initiated actions in your environment. It provides dynamic runtimes, enterprise governance, and centralized management for all automation assets. Learn more.
IAG creates dynamic, ephemeral environments for every execution, eliminating dependency conflicts and configuration drift. It offers centralized management, role-based access control (RBAC), auditing, and Git synchronization, which manual server management cannot provide.
Yes. IAG runs your existing automations without modification, providing the execution infrastructure and governance layer around what you’ve already built.
Gateway Manager is a platform capability for managing multiple IAG instances from one control plane. It enables monitoring health, tracking status, and controlling distributed execution across on-prem, cloud, and edge environments.
FlowAI agents connect to the Itential Platform through FlowMCP Server, which can trigger workflows that execute on IAG. IAG also has FlowMCP Gateway to invoke external MCP tools and AI agents for intelligence gathering. Explore FlowAI.
IAG runs wherever your infrastructure lives – on-prem, private cloud, or customer-controlled public cloud. Data and execution remain in your environment.
IAG exposes APIs that CI/CD tools can call to trigger governed automation execution. It works with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, and other pipeline tools. Learn more.
IAG captures full execution logs, error details, and exit codes. You can configure retry logic, rollback procedures, and alerting for failed executions.
IAG auto-creates dynamic, ephemeral runtime environments for every automation execution. It centrally manages Python, Ansible, Terraform, Netmiko, Scrapli, and custom executables, ensuring consistency and eliminating manual setup.
IAG transforms automations into structured, service-based models with standardized inputs. Engineers build with their preferred tools, while operators consume automations without needing to understand code. This enables seamless self-service access and eliminates developer bottlenecks.
IAG offers role-based access control, encryption, auditing, and policy enforcement on every execution. It supports SSL/TLS, LDAP integration, and local accounts for authentication and authorization.
IAG tracks every execution with detailed logs and traceability, enabling organizations to meet compliance requirements and provide evidence for audits. Learn more about Itential's compliance.
Yes. IAG provides enterprise governance through role-based access, encryption, auditing, and policy enforcement for every automation execution.
IAG acts as a governed execution layer, ensuring AI agents can request actions but only approved, auditable operations are executed. No direct AI access to infrastructure or credentials is allowed, reducing production risk.
IAG supports integration with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab), ITSM platforms (ServiceNow), network source of truth (NetBox), DDI automation (Infoblox), observability (Kentik), and more. Itential offers over 300+ pre-built integrations. Explore the Automation Marketplace.
IAG acts as a broker, securely connecting to any script repository or execution environment. It discovers, onboards, and orchestrates scripts (like Ansible, Python, or Terraform) as reusable components within visual workflow canvas, without needing to modify the original scripts. Learn more.
IAG can invoke external AI agents and MCP tools through FlowMCP Gateway for intelligent enrichment. Every call to external agents flows through IAG’s security and audit framework, maintaining enterprise compliance.
Yes. Gateway Manager enables centralized monitoring and control of all IAG instances across on-prem, cloud, and edge environments, supporting distributed execution for geographically dispersed infrastructure.
IAG is designed for engineering, operations, security, and platform teams who need to execute automations from a centralized, governed infrastructure. It is ideal for organizations seeking to standardize automation, enable self-service, and maintain compliance across hybrid environments.
Customers can expect measurable improvements such as faster service delivery, reduced operational overhead, improved compliance, and enhanced agility. For example, Itential customers have reported reducing service delivery times from days to minutes and cutting operational costs by up to 70%. See customer stories.
IAG eliminates manual server management, dependency setup, and developer bottlenecks by providing governed, dynamic execution environments. It enables organizations to scale automation operations without increasing headcount.
IAG standardizes automation execution by providing a single governed layer for scripts, workflows, and AI-initiated actions. This reduces fragmentation, inefficiencies, and errors, ensuring consistent practices across teams and environments.
IAG’s service-based structure allows operators to run automations without code expertise. Standardized inputs and self-service access free developers to focus on innovation, while providing full visibility into execution activity.

Customers praise Itential for its low-code design and intuitive interface. For example, Uzair Khan (Rush University Medical Center) highlighted the ability to create impactful automations without developer expertise. Armstrong reported saving over 21,000 hours of manual work. See testimonials.
Support is available via the Customer Portal, Professional Services, and Itential Academy for training and certification.
Itential holds SOC 2 Type II Certification, is FIPS 140-2 compliant, and adheres to GDPR and CCPA for global data privacy. These certifications ensure high standards of security and compliance. Learn more.
IAG automates compliance checks, drift detection, and remediation, ensuring continuous adherence to standards like PCI, HIPAA, NIST, and ISO. Every change is logged for full traceability.
IAG stands out with vendor-agnostic orchestration, low-code accessibility, integration-first approach, compliance-native features, and AI-ready design. It supports orchestration across diverse environments and enables both technical and non-technical users to create impactful automations quickly. See differentiators.
Network engineers benefit from low-code tools, IT leadership gains visibility and compliance, enterprises with complex infrastructures leverage vendor-agnostic orchestration, and regulated industries ensure compliance with built-in governance features.

Torero is a free automation execution tool for those not ready for a commercial product. It provides a simple way to operationalize automations and can be used as an entry point before adopting IAG. Learn more.
Managing servers, dependencies, and libraries consumes time that should be spent building automations.
Inconsistent practices fragment your environment, introducing delays, inefficiencies, and errors that slow automation.
Scattered permissions across scripts and environments introduce risk and disrupt workflows
Without self-service execution, developers are pulled into access requests, troubleshooting, and environment setup instead of building automations.
Building resilient, geo-distributed automation infrastructure is complex, requiring cluster management, workload balancing, and constant uptime management.
AI agents increase speed and autonomy, but they also increase blast radius. Without a governed execution layer, AI becomes a direct path to production risk.
IAG eliminates script sprawl and infrastructure management overhead by providing a governed execution environment for all your automations – from Python scripts to AI agent requests.
Every automation gets its own ephemeral runtime, built instantly and always consistent.
Manage Python, Ansible, Terraform, and custom executables from one place.
Role-based access, encryption, auditing, and policy enforcement on every execution.
