Automate Cisco UCS Bare-Metal Provisioning and More
The integration of Cisco Unified Computing
System™ (Cisco UCS®) management
with Puppet Enterprise and Puppet Razor
brings together software development
and IT operations to accelerate application
deployment. The Puppet Razor module works
in conjunction with Cisco UCS management
to facilitate rapid bare-metal provisioning of
all Cisco UCS systems in just a few steps.
The integration of Cisco UCS management
with Puppet Enterprise provides ongoing
management and monitoring.
Cisco UCS was designed as software-defined
infrastructure. Every component is managed
by Cisco UCS Manager, and programmatic
