This is sometimes called bare metal as a service.

Ironic is an open source project in this space if people are curious what this looks like.



We built our own ironic. Instead of a ton of services and configuration, we just have a single golang binary. Our source of truth is built on top of NetBox. We integrate Stripe for billing. We're adding features as customers ask for them.

While it is a lot of moving parts coordination, I'm not sure I agree with the complexity...

Yes, I understand you rolled your own. I was just pointing out what that general class of software was called in case others reading the thread were interested in seeing what’s involved with managing bare metal.
