This document discusses how to tame infrastructure that has grown wild over time. It describes two types of tangled infrastructure - visible and obfuscated "rat's nests". It then outlines several common "infrastructure smells" like configuration drift, systems entropy, staffing atrophy, reliance on gold images, and unstable software stacks. The document proposes tools and strategies to address these issues, including system configuration tools, OS installation tools, virtualization tools, separating concerns, continuous training, avoiding gold images, and container partitioning through automation. The overall message is to bring order to infrastructure chaos through automation, separation of duties, and continuous improvement practices.
