Description
Self-service, remote deployment of operating systems such as Windows, CentOS, ESXi, and Ubuntu on physical servers transforms your data center into a bare metal cloud environment. This Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) solution enables provisioning for a variety of systems, offering on-demand server capabilities alongside remote edge cluster management. With comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and discovery features, it seamlessly integrates with tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT, and Juju, ensuring rapid installations from scratch. Supporting VMware ESXi, Windows, CentOS, RHEL, and Ubuntu, it allows for the creation of customized images with pre-installed applications, as well as configurations for disk and network settings. The platform utilizes an API-driven approach for essential services such as DHCP, DNS, PXE, and IPAM, while a REST API facilitates streamlined provisioning processes. Furthermore, it incorporates LDAP user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security measures. Hardware testing and commissioning are integral parts of the solution, which is designed to deliver the quickest operating system installation times in the industry, thanks to its highly optimized image-based installer. MAAS is compatible with all certified servers from leading vendors and efficiently discovers servers located in racks, chassis, and broader data center networks, while also supporting major system BMCs and chassis controllers. The combination of these features allows organizations to manage their infrastructure more effectively and drive operational efficiency.
Description
Bolt is an open-source orchestration and infrastructure automation tool developed by Puppet to help IT teams automate manual operational tasks and streamline infrastructure management workflows. The platform allows users to execute remote tasks, orchestrate workflows, deploy applications, patch systems, restart services, and troubleshoot infrastructure across distributed environments without installing agents on target systems. Bolt operates through direct connections to remote machines using SSH or WinRM, making it lightweight, flexible, and easy to deploy within existing infrastructure environments. Users can automate both one-time operational tasks and complex workflows by leveraging reusable scripts, tasks, and orchestration plans that simplify repetitive infrastructure management processes. Bolt supports infrastructure automation for servers, cloud environments, and hybrid systems while allowing teams to manage operational changes from a centralized command-line interface or automation workflow. The platform also integrates with Puppet modules and other Puppet ecosystem products, enabling organizations to expand automation capabilities and reuse existing infrastructure code and workflows. Bolt includes features for configuring workspaces, running remote commands, orchestrating multi-step automation processes, and executing tasks on-demand across multiple targets simultaneously. As an open-source solution, Bolt provides infrastructure teams with a customizable and extensible framework for DevOps automation and operational management. By automating repetitive infrastructure tasks and orchestration workflows, Bolt helps organizations improve operational efficiency, reduce manual errors, and simplify infrastructure administration.
