Overview

The operator is doing a "light" lights out management of the hardware deployed in an Ironcore installation. It is handling the user management, power states, identification and service data collection via/of the baseboard management controllers by leveraging different industry standards and protocols (e.g. Redfish/IPMI).

It is scanning the known IP Addresses/MAC Addresses from the out-of-band network and handling only specific endpoints that are determined by a filtering mechanism that is preconfigured. The filtering mechanism is used to assign/find the preferred protocol and the proper manufacturer default credentials.

After proper credentials have been found, a new set of credentials is created, existing state for the device will be enforced and all service information is read. A new OOB object is created or updated if already existing.

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern

It uses Controllers which provides a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources untile the desired state is reached on the cluster
