• We Decided for and Against Ubuntu Core

  I did this for a few years with cobbler (https://cobbler.github.io/). 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. 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... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• netbootd: automate OS provisioning (PXE booting), DHCP, TFTP, HTTP server

  It's been done before but I never felt satisfied with existing solutions. I know Foreman (Ruby), Cobbler (Python), Digital Rebar (Go, not open source) . With the exception of the last one, they are orchestrators for external DHCP, TFTP, HTTP servers, which means you run tons of different software. Source: about 3 years ago
