## Summary

This project was created to understand the Bare-Metal provisioning

process. It supports three different projects to perform it.

- _Manual process_: The [PXE server folder](pxe_server) contains

  instructions to deploy services required by a dedicated

  Provisioning server.

- _Bifrost tool_: The [Bifrost folder](bifrost) contains instructions

  to deploy the [OpenStack Bare Metal as a Service(BMaaS)][3] project.

- _Tinkerbell_: The [Tinkerbell folder](tinkerbell) contains

  instructions to deploy the [CNCF Tinkerbell][4] project.

## Virtual Machines

The [Vagrant tool][1] can be used for provisioning an Ubuntu Bionic

Virtual Machine. It's highly recommended to use the _setup.sh_ script

of the [bootstrap-vagrant project][2] for installing Vagrant

dependencies and plugins required for this project. That script

supports two Virtualization providers (Libvirt and VirtualBox) which

are determine by the **PROVIDER** environment variable.

```bash

curl -fsSL http://bit.ly/initVagrant | PROVIDER=libvirt bash

```

Once Vagrant is installed, it's possible to provision a Virtual

Machine using the following instructions:

```bash

vagrant up 

```

The `node` VM is used to test target machines. This machine use

network booting provided by the PXE Server.

```bash

vagrant up node

```
