Infrastructure Pipelines
Automate your infrastructure with speed and repeatability using IaC pipelines
Digital Rebar Infrastructure Pipelines provide the structural backbone for how you build, change, and operate bare metal infrastructure at scale. Instead of ad hoc scripts and tool silos, they create consistent workflows that can be reused across vendors, platforms, and sites.
In practical terms, Infrastructure Pipelines are how Digital Rebar delivers high speed and large scale bare metal automation across Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 operations, including multi-site environments. They accomplish this by packaging our proven, standardized automation workflows into modular and reusable content packs. Then additional logic, embedded into each pipeline, allows it to adapt to customer-specific needs.
Structured Automation for the Entire Lifecycle
Infrastructure Pipelines have declarative end states that drive different hardware, operating systems, and tool stacks to a known configuration. Each pipeline has logic that moves a machine through a set of workflows, including inventory, classification, OS deployment, and hardware lifecycle management.
Pipelines are composed of immutable, version-controlled workflows. When a machine is provisioned or rebuilt, the same process executes. When a new data center comes online, the same validated automation applies. When configuration drift occurs, event-driven pipelines correct it automatically.
Because pipelines are versioned, modular, and immutable, you can roll forward or roll back changes in a controlled, auditable way.
With Infrastructure Pipelines, my teams stopped having to write custom hardware scripts and started being able to focus on delivering working infrastructure for our internal customers.”

Control Change through Pipelines
The hardest part of operations isn’t first-time provisioning, it’s responding to change safely without drift, disruption, or loss of control. Digital Rebar solves this by making Infrastructure Pipelines the vehicle for every change, whether it’s configuration enforcement, firmware updates, compliance validation, or rollbacks.
Each update moves through portable pipelines that can cross development, staging, and production. Workflows and failures are visible. Audit trails are preserved. Processes are predictable.
For security teams, this means consistent enforcement. For operations, it means fewer surprises. For auditors, it means full transparency and traceability.
A Responsive Event-Driven Workflow Engine
Automation at scale requires coordination. A patch release, firmware update, or cluster reset shouldn’t rely on operator memory or manual ticketing. Digital Rebar’s event-driven orchestration triggers pipelines to respond directly to infrastructure states such as power-on, failure detection, new device discovery, or timed maintenance windows.
Because Digital Rebar is API-first, the same pipelines that run through the user interface are accessible to CI/CD processes, ServiceNow, Terraform, Ansible, or internal tooling. IaC tools can treat Digital Rebar as a bare metal cloud API, requesting machines from pools and attaching pipelines to them.
Vendor-Neutral, Multi-Site Capable
Infrastructure Pipelines work with all major hardware OEMs, operating systems, and virtualization stacks. You can use the same pipeline on a Supermicro node in Tokyo and a Dell server in Frankfurt. No need to write per-site playbooks. No need to train teams on per-vendor workflows.
For global operations, this is critical. It reduces onboarding time, increases reliability, and ensures consistency. Digital Rebar’s Multi-Site Manager (link to Distributed Infrastructure page) coordinates, synchronizes, and delegates across sites while maintaining local autonomy.
