"Software trends have shifted dramatically — languages have come and gone, release cycles have shrunk from months to hours, architectures have evolved, and AI has taken the industry by storm. Yet the code that automates software deployment and infrastructure has remained largely unchanged.

“The state of infrastructure automation right now is roughly equivalent to the way the world looked before the CRM was invented,” says Jacob.

A skeptic might ask, why not use generative AI to do IaC? Well, according to Jacob, the issue is data — or rather, the lack of it. “Most people think LLMs are magic. They’re not. It’s a technology like anything else.”

LLM-powered agents need structured, relationally rich data to act — something traditional infrastructure tools don’t typically expose. System Initiative provides the high-fidelity substrate those models need, says Jacob. Therefore, System Initiative and LLMs could be highly complementary, bringing more AI into devops over time. “If we want that magical future, this is a prerequisite.”

System Initiative proposes a major overhaul to infrastructure automation. By replacing difficult-to-maintain configuration code with a data-driven digital model, System Initiative promises to both streamline devops and eliminate IaC-related headaches. But it still has gaps, like minimal cloud support, and few proven case studies.

There’s also the risk of locking into a proprietary execution model that replaces traditional IaC, which will be a hard pill for many organizations to swallow.

Still, that might not matter. If System Initiative succeeds, the use cases grow, and the digital-twin approach delivers the results, a new day may well dawn for devops."

backupscale.com · Want to Run Drupal in Kubernetes? Try Our New Terraform ModuleBackground Our customer dashboard, which will soon be used for managing subscriptions to our backup service (and not just newsletters and our contact form, as we’re doing now), is built on the Drupal data management framework. Until now, we’ve been hosting it with a company that specializes in hosting very specific types of applications, like Drupal. This wasn’t working for us because our service is running in our Kubernetes cluster at a cloud service provider that specializes in managed Kubernetes hosting, which let’s us run whatever applications we want, and configure them however we need.

You added more #IaC tools to simplify things... but now you’ve got more problems than ever!😓 Let’s fix that. Join this free webinar on June 17 about breaking the complexity cycle, hosted by The New Stack and Firefly.

StreamYardInside the 2025 State of IaC: Tools, Trends, and Tactical SolutionsOver 60% of companies today run multicloud, use multiple Infrastructure as Code (IaC) frameworks, or both — and most are doing it wrong. The 2025 State of IaC Report reveals an industry spiraling into self-inflicted complexity. We’re in a vicious cycle: adding more clouds, more tools, and more automation — and then doing it all over again when things become unmanageable. In our upcoming webinar, Ido Neeman, CEO of Firefly, and TNS Host Chris Pirillo will walk through the top trends and most surprising findings from this year’s data — plus some bonus insights we uncovered that didn’t make the published report. We’ll expose why 65% of teams face increasing complexity — despite record IaC adoption — and share exclusive data on how high-performing teams are breaking this cycle. Key Webinar Takeaways: -Why your IaC strategy is backfiring (and what to do about it). -The essential capabilities your cloud platform needs, regardless of which IaC tools you use. -Exclusive predictive insights on what cloud operations will look like in 2026. -Practical solutions for the biggest issues uncovered by the 2025 State of IaC survey.

#RedHat #Ansible and #HashiCorp #Terraform Will Be Coming Together
While no hard plans were revealed at #RedHatSummit, it's clear Red Hat's #DevOps and HashiCorp's #IaC programs will end up working together.
After #IBM’s acquisition of HashiCorp was completed in February 2025, IBM was poised to deliver a tightly integrated, end-to-end automation setup for enterprises navigating increasingly complex cloud environments.
Terraform has 33.48% marketshare, Ansible, at 31.66%.

#Ansible vs #Terraform: Which is More Secure for Infrastructure Automation?
Ansible and Terraform are excellent tools for secure infrastructure automation. They can be used individually or together to maximize the benefits. Using both of them may not be cost-efficient, though. In deciding which one to use, it is important to carefully examine the operational goals and your #DevOps team’s security workflows.
