Turn Servers Into Working Capacity — Then Deploy Whatever Runs On It
Getting a physical server ready to run real workloads is usually a manual, one-off project — different every time, with no consistent record of what was actually done to it.

How Gough applies to real problems.
No Shared Passwords, No Standing Access
Passwords and long-lived keys for accessing servers tend to spread across a team and rarely get cleaned up — a real risk if one leaks or someone leaves.
A Provisioning Record You Can Actually Trust
When an auditor asks you to prove a log was not edited after the fact, a plain log file is not a good enough answer — and infrastructure templates need to be provably what they claim to be, not just named that way.
One Place to Manage Every Server, Container, VM, and Cloud Instance You Have
A different tool for bare metal, for containers and VMs on your own hardware, and for each cloud provider means more training, more integration work, and a harder time moving workloads later if you need to.
Confidence After Launch Day
Backups, capacity planning, and disaster recovery are easy to skip when they are not part of the plan from day one — until the day you need them and discover they were never tested.
