Most use 2 approaches:
1. Cluster Manager – K8s on K8s
2. Mixed Cluster – VMs + containers
Both add complexity. The better way? A dedicated cluster. Clean separation, no ops headaches.
Digital Rebar automates it all
- Deploy OpenShift + Virtualization
- Run VMs on bare metal
- Ditch VMware

UPDATED AUDIO VERSION: https://youtu.be/2q0iYnyyzcE
Complex systems can be made strongly defensible without compromising the ability to adapt and update them. In this short presentation, we discuss how to build resilient infrastructure using 3D printing vs injection molding as the key analogy for infrastructure as code (IaC)

![Slay These Five Automation Dragons [WWT Automation Day Demo]
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.

![Running Ansible Local Playbooks [DRP training]
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.
