Abstract: Examples described herein include imaging servers which may support asynchronous imaging of one or more computers (e.g., computing nodes). The imaging server may use out-of-band communication to install requested images on one or more computing nodes. The imaging server may support multiple concurrent installation sessions, and may maintain a log specific to each session. This may facilitate session-specific status reporting. In this manner, operating systems, hypervisors, or other software may be installed on computing nodes.

Abstract: Examples described herein includes initialization of a computing node cluster. An example method providing a query request from an initialization application/service of a computing node for a default configuration management server identifier via a network, and receiving, from a network management server, an internet protocol address associated with the default configuration management server identifier. The example method further includes providing a configuration request from the computing node to the internet protocol address requesting configuration information, and receiving the configuration information at the computing node from a configuration management server associated with the internet protocol address.

Abstract: A configuration management system is configured to receive a registration request message from a computing node that includes identifying information, and to select a node pool in response to detection of a match between the identifying information matching a qualification parameter assigned to the node pool. The configuration management system is further configured to select configuration information for the computing node based on an image configuration template associated with the node pool. At least part of the configuration information is selected from a predefined resource pool. The configuration management system is further configured to provide the configuration information to the computing node.

Abstract: A system and method for imaging a self-bootstrapping computing node includes booting, from a boot device, the computing node into a bootstrapping environment using a bootstrap operating system, where the bootstrap operating system is configured with an address of an imaging location, accessing the imaging location and receiving a software image for the computing node, and, imaging the computing node using the software image including installing another operating system on the computing node to boot from the boot device. Monitoring a status of the computing node's imaging operations using an application programming interface (API), monitoring a health status of the computing node, and enabling restart of the boot process upon failure (e.g., self-healing, self-recovery, etc.), is also described.

Abstract: A computing node is configured to initialize by requesting a particular network resource from a network management server, and receiving acknowledgment of the particular network resource and an encryption key from the network management server to contact a configuration management server. The initialization further includes providing, using the particular network resource, a registration request message encrypted based on the encryption key to the configuration management server, and receiving configuration information corresponding to the computing node from the configuration management server in response to the registration request computing node.
