We are looking at overall orchestrating, including
automatic hardware installation, image download and bootup. We need to support
IPv6 in addition to IPv4, and discover hardware configuration and capabilities
if possible. I want to be able to put up any X.86/ARM system, switches and
routers, turn them up, have them connected directly to the network, discover
them by management plane, download the appropriate image, have them boot up
from the downloaded OS and report success back to the network. That is,
zero-touch hardware bringup. That could be done based on a hardware
serial number or some form of identifier to a particular image. Would you
recommend Cobbler for this kind of operation ? What would be the benefit
compared to plain PXE boot or Ansible or Openstack Ironic/TripleO ? ThanksNirlay
