Installation
The premier source of truth powering network automation. Open source under Apache 2. Try NetBox Cloud free: https://netboxlabs.com/products/free-netbox-cloud/
Look at the issue list...that is why.
https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues?q=is%3Aiss...
Note how they want to be "NetBox functions as the source of truth for your network infrastructure."
Your individual situation dictates what is important, but had netbox targeted being a central repository vs insisting on not allow other systems to be truthful for certain items it could be a different story.
We have learned that trying to centralize complexity and control doesn't work, heck we knew that almost immediately after the Clinger Cohen Act passed and even ITIL and TOGAF fully call this out now and I expect this to be targeted by consultants over the next few years.
You need a central constant way to find state, to remove any questions or doubt regarding where to find the authoritative information, but generally if you aspire to scale and grow or adapt to new changes you really need to avoid having some centralized, god-box, and prescriptive system like this.

SaltStack
Software to automate the management and configuration of infrastructure and applications at scale.
Of course, booting from a disk is not the only option. If you want to automate installs across servers - you have to boot from the network. That is something you could play around with, in GNS3 for example, using FAI or your own system based on SaltStack. You could skip the installation altogether, and use a Live Image, or a Thin Client.

skypilot
SkyPilot: Run AI and batch jobs on any infra (Kubernetes or 16+ clouds). Get unified execution, cost savings, and high GPU availability via a simple interface.
Project mention: Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-04To massively increase the reliability to get GPUs, you can use something like SkyPilot (https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot) to fall back across regions, clouds, or GPU choices. E.g.,
$ sky launch --gpus H100
will fall back across GCP regions, AWS, your clusters, etc. There are options to say try either H100 or H200 or A100 or .
Essentially the way you deal with it is to increase the infra search space.
