In the world of infrastructure management, complexity is a given—but so is the need for control and automation. The latest release of Digital Rebar added the last features needed to become a standalone infrastructure platform for automation and management on all levels. The Digital Rebar Platform is more than just another tool. Instead, it’s a comprehensive system that treats your entire environment as an integrated entity.
To show the breadth and depth of Digital Rebar v4.13, we created a visual infrastructure landscape. From core services to operating system support, each category is part of the larger puzzle that, when connected, forms a complete infrastructure management platform.
1. Cohesive Process Integration:
The landscape of Digital Rebar represents the automation and integration of processes across the layers of a typical IT services “layer cakeâ€. Installation, configuration, provisioning, and ongoing management shouldn’t be isolated. They are interconnected steps within a comprehensive workflow. This integration addresses the entire stack, resulting in cohesive, efficient, and reliable infrastructure.
2. Core Services:
The core services of Digital Rebar v4.13 are its bedrock, with capabilities foundational to any operational environment. Our platform manages DHCP, DNS, and IPAM, which are vital for network connectivity and communication. But, we don’t stop there; we also handle certificates, secrets, artifacts, and robust logging and monitoring. Digital Rebar integrates with existing core services or establishes new ones, ensuring a reliable and scalable foundation.
3. All Environments:
Whether managing enterprise-grade servers or orchestrating cloud environments, Digital Rebar v4.13 can be applied to any environment. Our agnostic approach encompasses bare metal provisioning, VM orchestration, and cloud interactions, ensuring a consistent management experience. Furthermore, the Digital Rebar Platform supports both in-band and out-of-band management. This automation not only saves time but also ensures precision in what can be a complex and labor-intensive process.
4. VM and Bare Metal Cloud Management:
The ability to manage both VMs and bare metal as a unified resource pool is a standout feature of Digital Rebar. By automating VM cluster life cycles, our platform simplifies the creation, management, and scaling of these resources. It integrates with popular virtual machine managers and cloud interfaces, streamlining operations and enabling innovation by reducing the manual overhead traditionally associated with VM and cloud management.
5. A Unified OS Approach:
From Windows to various Linux distributions like Red Hat, CentOS, and Ubuntu, our platform ensures that provisioning and management processes apply. This OS-agnostic nature means you can deploy, manage, and scale your systems without being locked into a single ecosystem, allowing for flexibility in your operations.
6. Expanding your Automation:
Extending beyond the core infrastructure management, Digital Rebar v4.13 integrates with key components such as compliance and governance tools, service orchestrators, development portals, and CI/CD pipelines. Let your teams leverage the platform while maintaining the flexibility needed for their specific workflows, all while sticking to a consistent management strategy.
