Digital Rebar

~~~~~~~~~~~~~



*simple, fast and open-ecosystem infrastructure automation with strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC) design.*



`Digital Rebar (aka DRP) `_ is a `RackN `_ licensed-core platform with an open ecosystem suite of both licensed and open `APLv2 `_ components.  The fourth generation platform provides a simple yet complete API-driven DHCP/PXE/TFTP provisioning and workflow system.



Digital Rebar Platform and Ecosystem are designed together to be a complete data center provisioning, content scaffolding and infrastructure workflow platform with a cloud native architecture that completely replaces Cobbler, Foreman, MaaS, Ironic or similar technologies. DRP offers a single golang binary (less than 30MB) with no dependencies capable of installation on a laptop, RPi or switch supporting both bare metal and virtualized infrastructure.



Key Features:



  Platform Capabilities:

    * API-driven infrastructure-as-code automation

    * Multi-boot workflows using composable and reusable building blocks

    * Event driven actions via Websockets API

    * Extensible Plug-in Model for public, vendor and internal enhancements

    * Dynamic Workflow Contexts (allows using APIs when agents cannot be run)

    * Distributed Multi-Site Management

    * Integrated Secure Boot, SSO and Highly Available options.

    * Supports ALL orchestration tools including Chef, Puppet, Ansible, SaltStack, Bosh, Terraform, etc



  Open Ecosystem Plugins:

    * RAID, IPMI, Redfish, and BIOS Configuration

    * Cloud-like pooling capabilities

    * Classification engine for automated workflow
