Explores why building robust and secure data center infrastructure is hard and how the unique RackN infrastructure as code and context management in Digital Rebar solves this challenge.
and Infrastructure v2020 We see the data center as an integrated, multi-vendor system instead of a bunch of stand alone components. RackN provides cloud-like automation and APIs without surrendering the control domains.

Patterns 2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) 3. Multi-Vendor 4. Constantly Updated / Secure 5. Integration to SoR 6. Compliance & Visibility The “how” matters if we are going to dramatically improve infrastructure operations
DMZ Systems of Record Operator Network Infrastructure is not monolithic: management must span many systems. Corporate Network (Dev & Operator Clients) Protected Systems and Assets (Trusted) Infrastructure Administration (Trusted) Internet Facing Applications (Untrusted)
Workload Network & DMZ Systems of Record Operator Network Instead of replacing control domains with a single API, we build workflow orchestration that coordinates activities between them.
