Rufio

This repository is Experimental meaning that it's based on untested ideas or techniques and not yet established or finalized or involves a radically new and innovative style! This means that support is best effort (at best!) and we strongly encourage you to NOT use this in production.

Description

Rufio Uses Fancy IPMI Operations

Rufio is a Kubernetes controller for managing baseboard management state and actions.

Goals:

• Declaratively enforce and ensure BMC state such as:
  • Power state
  • Persistent boot order
  • NTP/LDAP/TLS Cert configuration (probably future scope)
• Declaratively enact actions such as:
  • Power reset
  • Configure ephemeral boot order
• Report state such as:
  • Firmware version
  • Other Redfish/Swordfish machine metadata

Implementation

• Kubernetes-based controller
• AuthN/Z is enforced with Kubernetes Authentication/RBAC
• BMC authentication is managed with Kubernetes Secrets
