Abstract

Example implementations relate to a logical rack controller. In an example, a logical rack controller receives an inventory of a plurality of physical computing racks. The logical rack controller receives a logical rack definition that indicates selected physical infrastructure from among the inventory to form a logical rack. The logical rack controller validates the logical rack definition by verifying network connectivity of the selected physical infrastructure. After validation of the logical rack definition, the logical rack controller provides, to a provisioning controller, an interface to the logical rack. The provisioning controller can utilize the interface to access the logical rack.
