RackHD is an open source project started with the goal of providing a consistent and clear mechanism to perform hardware inventory and firmware upgrades to commodity white-box servers. With an event-based workflow engine that interacts with existing protocols and mechanisms such as PXE, BMC, and IPMI it can create workflows of tasks, boot scripts, and interactions to achieve full system automation. Come see it in action in this session showing useful workflows integrating with Docker, OpenStack, and Cloud Foundry.
