RackN Digital Rebar Infrastructure Pipelines helps you standardize code from any part of your infrastructure. But you don’t have to build Infrastructure Pipelines from scratch! You can use tools you already use, like Ansible and Terraform, to create Infrastructure Pipeline segments. In fact, we wrote about this in a previous blog post and showed even
Nobody wants to add complexity into IT systems! However, complexity will never be eliminated. It’s a normal part of IT. But that doesn’t mean we need to drown in it! Anyone can minimize the inherent risk that complexity introduces into IT systems and manage complexity like an expert. It’s a fact: infrastructure operations are inherently
Squashing tool sprawl is one of the strengths of RackN Digital Rebar Infrastructure Pipelines. You’re probably already using things like Terraform and Ansible to automate building cloud infrastructures. I’m sure you aren’t looking to start over again with yet another tool. We agree – you shouldn’t have to! Infrastructure Pipelines help you use your existing
Security is always the top concern for RackN. It’s understandable to be concerned if the December 21 Log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) will impact the Digital Rebar Platform. Since the platform is written in Golang and does not rely on Java, there is no exposure to Digital Rebar. RackN is committed to maintaining high standards for security and
Today, RackN announced the release of Digital Rebar v4.8. With this release, Digital Rebar Resource Management Abstractions take center stage. You can read more about the release here. But let’s dive deeper into Resource Management Abstractions. Resource Management Abstractions Infrastructure Pipelines are standardized, reusable processes for platform and infrastructure. Like CI/CD pipelines for code, they
Today, RackN released Digital Rebar v4.8, which empowers organizations to manage the complexity of distributed heterogeneous infrastructure. Introducing Infrastructure Pipelines. Why Infrastructure Pipelines? Platform and IT infrastructure teams need a way to reduce the time it takes to integrate new infrastructure platforms and technologies for use by the business. However, that can be a challenge
No doubt about it, keeping IT systems in compliance can be scary. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to keep systems in regulatory, security, or even site compliance. The challenge of maintaining compliance is being able pull systems into compliance if they drift. So, how do you automate compliance?. What is DevOps compliance? Ultimately, It
We’re excited to highlight that RackN officially added Rocky Linux support in our recent Digital Rebar v4.7 release! Rocky Linux provides a community maintained alternate to CentOS for operators who are concerned about IBM Red Hat’s migration of the distribution to stream releases. See the Cloud2030 discussion for more details. This 12 minute video shows
Building infrastructures where the systems are completely hidden from the people building applications is a very powerful thing. Consider what it takes to create an artificial intelligence and machine learning platform. It isn’t necessary to build the actual machine learning platforms, learn how to build models or learn neural networking computational methods. Hidden complexity makes
Sept 1, 2021 RackN has released Digital Rebar v4.7 for general use. In addition to a major RackN UX update, this release rolls up a range of Digital Rebar fixes and performance improvements. Important Notices For v4.7, operators should be aware that Port 8090 is now required to be accessible for Digital Rebar endpoints. This
