Do you think automation doesn't exist with on-prem? The vSphere terraform provider is very mature.

You can build your own machine images with packer, and actually have more control by building them from scratch (ISO) rather than being locked into a selection of base AMIs.

You can launch HA kubernetes clusters with cluster API. vSphere, openstack and even bare metal pxe all have providers

Cloud native is not just for the public cloud!

I've been looking for a decent solution for pxe and cluster-api. I've not pushed the button on any as I feel like they're all a little immature. Admittedly I've not had time to set up any in a test env yet. Any recommendations?
