FAQ for Stack Automation by Quali

It is a deployment automation platform that shifts day 0-1 infrastructure from manual assembly to a fully automated, cloud-like model for faster time-to-value. 

No, it complements them. Stack Automation acts as an orchestration layer that integrates your existing Ansible and Terraform scripts into a governed, "rack-to-app" workflow, allowing you to utilize the best tools for each job while gaining a cloud-like experience.

We offer an Essentials tier for standard catalog deployments. For advanced customization and agentic design tools, our Advantage subscription tier is available. 

Software-only deployment capabilities are targeted for August 2026, with full-stack solution deployments, including Cisco AI PODs, becoming available in October 2026.
