!!WARNING: DEEP SYSADMIN CUTS AHEAD!!

Back in the early 2000s, if you were a sysadmin that had to set up desktops or servers, you probably used Norton Ghost to create images.

When virtualization became big, that process moved to creating VM templates.

But there was still often a lot of manual intervention in these tasks - password setting, BIOS updates, vCenter installations and more. As the IT world moves more and more towards automating software tasks, what about automating infrastructure provisioning? Sure, there's cloud, but what if you're still on-prem?

This week, Rob Hirschfeld of RackN joins us to discuss how RackN helps automate the previously un-automate-able.

Episode 367 - Infrastructure Automation with RackN

The compliance death curve is something I’ve been working on as an evolving concept that tries to explain how companies fight compliance governance and standardization efforts, something that is critical to platform team and infrastructure operations. 

Today we try to decompose some of the mathematics that I've been using into more universal, more easily understood components. We built a compliance flywheel that I found really fascinating which you can see an example of that work in our podcast description. 

It could also be helpful to check out my previously recorded compliance death curve talk that has been released.
