As someone who stepped out of the devops world for a minute and is now trying to convert my companies infrastructure to use these tools, this is very useful and I'm reading through the whole thing.
However, I'm still confused by how the tools in the ecosystem interact with the capabilities of various cloud providers. That is, we're using DigitalOcean and Docker and I want to get our infra to a point where I can easily spin up a brand new staging environment (staging-2 say) with an isolated postgres node using an attached volume which also say runs redis, a proxy node, a couple of nodes for application servers, and a couple of nodes for background jobs, all w/private networking, secure, w/non-root access, and run a quick task to seed dbs.
I just can't seem to find guides which put the whole thing together, just pieces and I'm lost in researching an overwhelming number of tools from Ansible to Terraform to Kubernetes to Helm, etc, etc, etc.
