RackN is making available an update to the RackN Digital Rebar Platform that will make it easier to employ tools such as Terraform to configure bare-metal servers. Company CEO Rob Hirschfeld said version 4.4 of the platform adds an application programming interface (API) that enables bare-metal servers to be abstracted into resource groups. IT administrators can request a machine based on an attribute map to provision a collection of bare-metal servers as if they were a cloud platform, he said, noting RackN is also making available workflows to enable IT teams to automate the allocation and reallocation processes more easily.
Hirschfeld said IT teams want to be able to provision bare-metal servers as if they were code in much the same way they provision virtual machines.
