GLabIT Guide

Overview

GLabIT (pronounced like “rabbit”) is a custom IT automation platform to improve our operational efficiency for back office background jobs, change management, provisioning and deprovisioning, and reporting tasks.

This handbook page provides an overview, however you will find all of the technical details on the GLabIT Documentation Site.

Background Context

In the past, we used the IT CLI Scripts that were installed on each team member’s computer and had API tokens to different systems. GLabIT moves from a client-only model to a client-server API middleware model for running scripts, with the added benefit of scheduled background jobs.

As we mature our operations, GLabIT will be a centralized platform to host our new Level 3 and Level 4 automations that are more complex than a no-code integration.

Services

GLabIT is a platform that hosts many automation related (micro-)services and scripts. You can learn more about each service on the respective documentation or handbook page.

This is an early incubation project. We are in the process of onboarding team members from IT Security, People Ops, Security Automation, Security Compliance, and Vulnerability Management to be able to contribute and/or migrate their scripts to this consolidated platform. Feel free to add projects to this list.

Get Started

This is an early incubation project. Contact Jeff Martin for details on getting started with GLabIT. This will be updated as we reach alpha and beta stability (see the roadmap).
