A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. ► 2013. (10). The result is a "wire-once" physical network topology, but with an infinitely reconfigurable logical topology.

However, in the software domain, each still relies on multiple individual products to accomplish tasks such as SW provisioning, HA/availability, VM management, load balancing, etc. ► 2013. (10).

FanDuel started to use Puppet to help with configuration management, and they started evaluating the use of Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) and Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) to help with scaling.

So I kind of invested about 25 years into designing and hardening Active Directory solutions, and somewhere around 2013 or 2014, I was really invested in Azure, or cloud-based solutions. And so when everyone else was running Novell networks, I was really deeply invested into what would become Active Directory at a later stage.
