Abstract
In one example, a non-transitory computer readable medium for hardware management includes instructions to generate an instruction volume by copying a master volume, wherein the instruction volume is a computing device image, execute a set of scripts to alter the instruction volume based on a profile for a computing device, and deploy the instruction volume to the computing device to configure the computing device based on the profile for the computing device.
Claims17
A system for hardware management, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- generate a profile including a deployment plan for a computing device;
- generate a master volume based on the deployment plan, the master volume being stored in a volume storage;
- generate a copy of the master volume, wherein the instruction volume includes a set of default settings from the master volume and a set of altered settings based on a set of scripts;
- examining a health state of the instruction volume through direct access to the volume storage, including examining the instruction volume within the volume storage for malware;
- provide a set of executable instructions to alter the copy of the master volume based on the deployment plan including a set of configuration settings to customize the master volume to the computing device;
- and
- deploy the altered copy of the master volume to the computing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor for hardware management, wherein the instructions are executable to:
- generate an instruction volume by copying a master volume, wherein the instruction volume is a computing device image and the instruction volume includes a set of default settings from the master volume and a set of altered settings based on a set of scripts;
- examining a health state of the instruction volume through direct access to the volume storage, including examining the instruction volume within the volume storage for malware;
- execute a set of executable instructions to alter the instruction volume based on a profile to customize the instruction volume to the computing device;
- and
- deploy the instruction volume to the computing device to configure the computing device based on the profile for the computing device.
A method for hardware management, comprising:
- generating, at a volume storage, a master volume based on a master image of a computing system;
- generating, on the volume storage, an instruction volume based on the master volume, wherein the instruction volume includes a set of default settings from the master volume and a set of altered settings based on a set of scripts;
- examining a health state of the instruction volume through direct access to the volume storage, including examining the instruction volume within the volume storage for malware;
- altering, via a set of executable instructions, a set of settings of the instruction volume to customize the instruction volume to the computing system;
- and
- deploying, from the volume storage, the instruction volume to the computing system, wherein the instruction volume provides a system boot volume and firmware configuration for the computing system.
