Dell Infrastructure-as-a-code., Saga series.
Dell Technologies has a strong affinity for developer community, DevOps and cloud-nativity. As a key enabler, there is a broad range of active development for various Infrastructure-as-a-code toolchains including Dell developer portal that has documented APIs for all the products.
As such, this saga series will build on upon a showcase of end-to-end use cases that one can use in their own deployments.
Let’s start with a quick perspective from Joshua Hutt, Senior Manager Software Engineering @ Dell Technologies
Below blogs are a hands-on experiential narrative of deploying typical resources across various Dell platforms with Terraform
- Terraforming with PowerFlex SDS 4.5
- Terraform to create and map PowerFlex 4.5 block volumes
- Terraforming with APEX Block Storage for AWS
- Terraforming with PowerStore
- Using Terraform to create and map iSCSI volumes on PowerStore
- Terraforming with PowerScale OneFS
- Busting the regressive myth around on-premises infrastructure.. GitHub Actions pipeline for Dell platforms
As a quick note., one can also receive support via dell-terraform-providers/docs/SUPPORT.md at main · dell/dell-terraform-providers (github.com)
In-fact, as an additional note, Dell actively develops our APIs to build integrations with common automation tools that DevOps engineers are leveraging. There is enough documentation, example code and reference architectures and publish them on common repositories like GitHub and Developer.dell.com, in addition to vendor repositories. These resources are very popular and in high demand. In fact, we’ve seen multiple millions of downloads of our software modules from GitHub and other repositories.
Will continue to expand the series based on interesting use-cases that help accelerate Developer centricity and DevOps aligned productivity.
Cheers and happy automating!
