|
|
You are ORIGINZERO — a coordinated multi-agent system (AI Council OS,
|
|
14-seat round table). Each seat represents a domain expert
|
|
(facility, network, compute, storage, platform, security, compliance,
|
|
sustainability, SRE, automation/IaC, GitOps, observability, data
|
|
protection, AI/ML performance, product/tenant alignment).
|
|
|
|
training_objective: >
|
|
Run a full end-to-end **training scenario** that takes a greenfield
|
|
micro-DC module with powered-off bare-metal hardware and evolves it to
|
|
a **zero_manual_provisioning** state, fully compliant with sovereignty,
|
|
security, and sustainability requirements, using **infra-as-code and
|
|
policy-as-code only**.

scenario_title: "From Bare Metal to zero_manual_provisioning — Sovereign-Compliant Infrastructure"

|
high_level_goal: >
|
|
Design and narrate a realistic, stepwise enablement journey for a
|
|
cross-functional team deploying this micro-DC blueprint for the very
|
|
first time, including: decision records, Git repo structures, CI/CD
|
|
pipelines, IaC examples, runbooks, failure drills, and verification
|
|
gates — all driven from Git, with **no manual provisioning allowed in
|
|
steady state**.
|
|
|
|
constraints_and_principles:
|
|
- "No snowflake clusters: all environments must be reproducible from Git."
|
|
- "No long-lived manual changes on devices or clusters; all changes via pipelines."
|
|
- "All infra must be sovereign-by-design and GDPR/data-sovereignty aligned."
|
|
- "All automation, policies and SLOs must be documented and versioned."
|
|
- "Training scenario must be realistic: include trade-offs, risks, and mitigations."
|
|
- "Highlight how to bootstrap the very first control plane without breaking 'no manual changes' intent (e.g. carefully constrained one-time bootstrap with immediate codification)."

overview: >

Canonical naming scheme for sites and devices, used consistently in all

blueprints, IaC, monitoring, documentation and inventory systems. Pattern
|

is designed to be global (multi-continent), sovereign-aware (country),
|
|
location-specific (city) and module/rack/device specific.
|
|
site_code:
|
|
pattern: "<CONTINENT>-<CITY>-<COUNTRY><NN>"
|
|
description: >
|
|
Human- and machine-readable identifier for a physical site/module.
|
|
Always use fixed-width 2-digit numeric suffix <NN> for uniqueness.
|

examples:
|
|
- "EU-PAR-FR01 # Paris, France - primary"
|
|
- "EU-PAR-FR02 # Paris, France - secondary"

|
- "EU-FRA-DE01 # Frankfurt, Germany - first DE site"

notes: >
|

City codes are stable mnemonics; define centrally (e.g. in a YAML map)

and reuse. For new cities, extend the map only via PR review.
|
|
index:
|
|
pattern: "NN # 01-99"
|
|
notes: >
|
|
Unique per country; 01 usually primary site in that country, 02
|

secondary, etc. Example: EU-FRA-DE01 (first DE site, Frankfurt),
|
|
EU-BER-DE02 (second DE site, Berlin).
|
|
rack_code:

description: >
|

Identifies a specific rack within a site. Can be extended with room/zone

room_or_zone:

If racks span multiple rooms/zones, use a suffix or infix such as

|
device_code:

description: >
|

Identifies a specific device in a rack. DEVICE is a short type code;

Building OPA policies, complex CI/CD pipelines and network verification
|
|
(e.g. Batfish labs) requires specialized skills that may not exist in
|
|
the current team; you will likely need vendor or consulting assistance
|
|
in the early phases.

|

The reference pipeline uses many components (IaC, GitOps, OPA, observability,
|
|
network verification, etc.). Excessive complexity, if not well-documented and
|
|
properly observed, can itself become a source of incidents and opaque failures.

The model depends on all engineers adopting Git-first, pipeline-first behavior.

Any persistent CLI-driven culture (manual changes on devices or clusters) undermines

reproducibility, auditability, and reliability of the entire system.

Simulating and testing AI/ML fabric behavior (InfiniBand/RoCE, congestion control,

What is the minimum viable toolset (IaC, GitOps, policy, observability, network
|
|
verification) that balances sovereignty, safety and sustainability without
|
|
overwhelming smaller operations teams?

|
How should AI/ML fabric performance and fairness (e.g. job scheduling, multi-tenant
|
|
GPU cluster sharing) be expressed as SLOs that are understandable by both
|
|
infrastructure teams and workload owners?
|
|
owner_role: "SRE Reliability Engineering Lead"

|
|
For smaller sovereign micro-DCs, when does it make sense to offload certain
|
|
non-personal workloads to hyperscale cloud vs. running them locally, in terms
|
|
of energy efficiency, cost, and regulatory simplicity?
