MAAS

Metal as a Service is a free software physical cloud with IPAM and bare-metal server provisioning.

Not that I’m a Canonical stan, or anything. But have you looked at MAAS [1]? It works decently well in my small-scale lab testing.<p>1. <a href="https://maas.io" rel="nofollow">https://maas.io</a>.

I use it on <a href="https://mudlet.org" rel="nofollow">https://mudlet.org</a> and it's amazing. No Linux users are ever issues with them - it's an effectively solved distribution problem.<p>The one drawback is that you need to use an ancient compiler, but for our purposes that ancient compiler supports C++17 so that is okay for the time being.

I did this for a few years with cobbler (<a href="https://cobbler.github.io/" rel="nofollow">https://cobbler.github.io/</a>). cobbler, pxe, bootp, tftp, ansible and friends pretty much solve this problem. In fact, if you know the mac addresses (or ranges) you can fairly easily designate groups of machines, roles, and the like.<p>Years ago I did this to "rapidly" provision a couple of thousand machines we bought for the stock exchange. You can do most of your testing locally in vagrants, even simulating the networks you need to provision.<p>You can go a step further and trigger api updates at the end of your ansible runs so that cobbler updates collins.
