Li9 Automated Ephemeral OpenShift Clusters

Accelerate Innovation with On-Demand, Disposable OpenShift Environments

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 which slow delivery, increase risk, and consume budget.

The Solution

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. Use cases include:

  • Feature branch testing for microservices
  • Infrastructure change validation
  • Upgrade and migration dry-runs
  • CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Training, demos, or compliance sandboxes.
