Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
For CNCF, we've been working on Kubespray and Kubernetes
We have significant activity with OpenStack in the past
We have been involved in a number of projects in monior ways including Consul, Terraform, BOSH, Golang and Chef.
How will this testing advance cloud native computing (specifically containerization, orchestration, microservices or some combination).
Digital Rebar is the cloud native physical provisioning alternative. This testing ensures that the community profiles work consistently. That helps users who want to use Kubernetes and other CNCF projects on bare metal deployments.
Any other relevant details we should know about while preparing the infrastructure?
We're already using Packet for this open source testing, so we'd be able to give you a very quick and visible win on using the infrastructure to support an open project with CNCF ties.

Briefly describe the project
Automates physical network provisioning
Which members of the CNCF community and/or end-users would benefit from your work?
RackN is a CNCF member. The service works on Packet.net We're not sure who else is consuming software
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
Yes. http://Rebar.digital Code is github.com/digitalrebar/provision
We're talking about PROVISION only, not the v2 container stuff.
What kind of machines and how many do you expect to use (see: https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/)?
Type 0s. 10 - 15 machines per build for about 15 minutes per commit.
What OS and networking are you planning to use (see: https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/)?
CustomIPXE exclusively
