Bare Metal Provisioning With Tinkerbell

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Kubernetes-native bare metal provisioning that uses CRDs for hardware and template to produce executable workflows that do PXE/ISO boot, partition disks, kexec and power ops. Features a read-only web UI, a tiny in-memory OS (Captain OS), serial over SSH to BMC so no ipmitool, and an auto-discovery mode that creates CRDs and runs workflows automatically. Bootstrap with a single binary, zero external dependencies and later transfer CRDs to a permanent cluster.
