Boot my (secure)-(portable) clouds!
summary
Claims ability to spin up secure, portable environments across clouds and re-create a full tooling stack after failure in about 40 minutes. Implementation uses Terraform to declare multi‑provider infra, Packer to build identical base images, and cloud-init + puppet to bootstrap and configure VMs. Secrets live centrally in Vault with per‑team tokens. OpenVPN and freeIPA provide portable VPN and internal DNS. The pipeline is API‑driven, automated, and proven by a real restore, though integrations (providers and Vault hooks) still require glue.
