Installing OpenShift on bare metal can feel complicated. CoreOS, manifests, CRDs, and lifecycle management all add to the difficulty of it.
To help, in this video our CEO and co-founder, Rob Hirschfeld, walks you through the process step by step and show how Digital Rebar makes it zero-touch.

Automation alone will not save you. We’ll describe the five dragons that cause modernization efforts to fail even when you hire excellent people and buy the best tools. We’ll show how building systems that are (1) reusable with (2) strong abstractions delivered with (3) Infrastructure as Code pipelines allows you to create robust (4) processes that boost cross-team (5) collaboration. We’ll talk about pragmatic actions that you can take to empower your teams to build automation and infrastructure that accelerate your business.

Shows how to use the Ansible Local Playbook Stage with Digital Rebar. This allows users to use Ansible playbooks to perform routine configuration tasks. They can be easily made part of a larger DRP workflow with information injected into Ansible inventory.
The process can use templates, web servers or github as a source of the Ansible playbooks.

Using 3D printing to understanding IaC scaling
10 years ago, I failed deeply at DevOpsDays trying to 3D print booth tchotchkes. Automating infrastructure feels like 3D printing: its magic when it works but takes way more prep, control and effort than youd expect. Are we getting closer to making infrastructure as code into an engineering practice? Why is this so hard and whats holding us back?

Using library tasks built into Digital Rebar v4.6+, we are able to build complex clusters using a dedicated Cluster Manager workflow running in a Context. This enables significant optimizations of multi-machine operations.
This video shows how that pattern was used to automated k3s installation.

If we dont trust the service providers then what happens to the cloud ecosystems? In this episode, the Cloud2030 team really got into what will cause transformation of the industry at a broad scale, what the triggers were, what the motivations are, and and sort of why it would happen.
And we did it talking about things like Bitcoin and trust and security and economics. So it was really well rounded discussion. And the punchline is that we think government changes, economic changes. geopolitical issues, are potentially big disruptors in this case, and hard to predict. And potentially other hardware innovations or things that the cost people lose faith or confidence in the way things are, could cause very rapid change.
