IronCore Bare Metal Management
The bare metal management and automation in IronCore is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for managing physical servers in a Kubernetes-native way. It leverages the power of Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to automate server lifecycle from discovery to day-2 operations.
- Discovery: Automatically detect and register bare metal servers, ensuring seamless integration into the infrastructure.
- Provisioning: Deploy and configure servers using Ignition, automating OS installation and server setup.
- Day-2 Operations: Manage BIOS, firmware, and hardware inventory declaratively, keeping the fleet compliant and up to date without manual intervention.
- 3rd Party Integrations: Seamlessly integrate with existing vendor-specific management tools.
- Kubernetes Support: Run Kubernetes on bare metal servers with support for Cluster API and Gardener.
