Bare metal host provisioning integration for Kubernetes

Bare Metal Operator

The Bare Metal Operator implements a Kubernetes API for managing bare metal hosts. It maintains an inventory of available hosts as instances of the BareMetalHost Custom Resource Definition. The Bare Metal Operator knows how to:

• Inspect the host’s hardware details and report them on the corresponding BareMetalHost. This includes information about CPUs, RAM, disks, NICs, and more.
• Provision hosts with a desired image
• Clean a host’s disk contents before or after provisioning.

More capabilities are being added regularly. See open issues and pull requests for more information on work in progress.

For more information about Metal³, the Bare Metal Operator, and other related components, see the Metal³ docs.
