Abstract
A technique to provision a converted infrastructure (CI) includes generating task definitions to configure respective ones of compute, storage, and network components of a converged infrastructure (CI) when invoked. Each task definition includes a task identifier (ID), one or more component configuration commands, and one or more task arguments through which one or more corresponding component configuration parameters are passed to corresponding ones of the one or more component commands. The technique further includes automatically invoking each of the task definitions by task ID according to an ordered sequence in order to configure the CI. The automatically invoking includes providing the one or more component configuration commands and the corresponding one or more passed configuration parameters of each invoked task definition to the respective ones of the CI components.
