Hello Curtis,

No, the proposal is not specifically addressing ZTP.  The proposed changes are to make improvements for the initial host deployment so that it permits running locally or remotely and also uses more standard technologies for deployment.  In addition, the system inventory changes expand the capabilities for identifying and classifying hardware, simplifying the installation and commissioning steps, which could be leveraged for improved deployment automation.

Hello,

Attached are the slides I presented during the TSC call on Dec 13, 2018 for the proposed improvements to the StarlingX initial bootstrap and system inventory.  As indicated on the call, a detailed stx-spec will follow, but wanted to share the high-level changes being proposed before the arrival of the spec to get some early feedback.

Hi Matt,

One question I have is around Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). Is the overall concept being put forward here a solution for the ZTP problem or is it a replacement of config_controller with an (remotely run?) Ansible playbook, ie. presuming the OS is already available in some capacity.

Thanks,

Curtis

Regards, Matt
