The Bare Metal Approach to VMS Provisioning Is a Great Way to Reduce Your Problem Set
There's no virtualization layer. There's no virtual networking happening on the individual host hardware. All our virtualization is performed on network hardware, the same as it would if you were collocated in a physical space. The underlying interstructure provisioning tool chain that was used at packet became the tinker bell project at son tinker bell dot org. You can use that to experiment with bare metal in your own home lab from just doing raspberry pies, or andeploy it in your cullicated environment.

Episode notes
In this episode, Gerhard talks to David and Marques from Equinix Metal about the importance of bare metal for steady workloads. Terraform, Kubernetes and Tinkerbell come up, as does Crossplane - this conversation is a partial follow-up to episode 15.
David Flanagan, a.k.a. Rawkode, needs no introduction. Some of you may remember Marques Johansson from The new changelog.com setup for 2019. Marques was behind the Linode Terraforming that we used at the time, and our infrastructure was simpler because of it!
