Through the Looking Glass: Leveraging Overton Window Concepts To Redefin...
summary
A modular infrastructure-as-code framework that maps declarative modules to interchangeable providers reduces NRE and accelerates deployment: deployed across 50+ programs, it uses Ansible + Terraform/OpenTofu for images, cloud provisioning and GitOps (Argo CD), supports vendor-neutral Kubernetes swaps (RKE2, kubeadm), and builds secure supply chain traces with SBOMs and Hopper for air-gapped delivery. Teams adopt reusable Ansible collections and Terraform modules, cutting rebuilds, standardizing interfaces, and enabling rapid pivot when an “acceptable” tool leaves the organization’s Overton window.
