## Universal Infrastructure Problems and Rust-Powered Solutions
|
|
|
|
### 🔧 Infrastructure Fragmentation
|
|
|
|
#### Problem Statement
|
|
|
|
Modern teams manage infrastructure across multiple contexts using different tools, languages, and approaches. This leads to:

|
|
- **Ansible**: Good for configuration, weak for provisioning
|
|
- **Custom Scripts**: Bash/Python scripts that don't scale
|
|
- **Cloud-Specific Tools**: Vendor lock-in and context switching
