Abstract
A configurable device includes computing resources. The configurable device further includes an out-of-band management platform that obtains a configuration request for the configurable device to place the configurable device into a predetermined state; in response to obtaining the configuration request, obtains a configurable device profile associated with the configurable device using an out-of-band channel; instantiates a pre-operating system agent based on the configurable device profile using the computing resources; loads an operating system package into the computing resources using an in-band channel secured by the pre-operating system agent; boots the configurable device using: the operating system package, and the computing resources; and, after booting the configurable device, orchestrates post-operating system automation of the configurable device to place the configurable device into the predetermined state.
