Technologies for providing manifest-based asset representation

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause one or more devices to:

• generate manifest data indicative of one or more characteristics of multiple devices of a system, wherein the manifest data comprises configuration information indicative of a firmware utilized by individual devices of the multiple devices and wherein the configuration information indicative of a firmware utilized by individual devices of the multiple devices specifies one or more of:
• a BIOS version, baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware version, DIMM firmware version, and/or solid state drive (SSD) firmware version;
• associate an identifier with the manifest data, wherein the identifier identifies the system from among a plurality of systems;
• send the manifest data and the associated identifier to an orchestrator server;
• detect a change in at least one or more of the characteristics of the system;
• update the manifest data based on the detected change, wherein the update specifies the detected change in the one or more characteristics of the system;
• and
• send the update of the manifest data to the orchestrator server.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory to store a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes at least one circuitry to:
• generate manifest data indicative of one or more characteristics of multiple devices in the system, wherein the manifest data comprises configuration information indicative of a firmware applied by individual devices of the multiple devices and wherein the configuration information indicative of a firmware applied by individual devices of the multiple devices specifies one or more of:
• a BIOS version, baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware version, DIMM firmware version, and/or solid state drive (SSD) firmware version;
• associate an identifier with the manifest data, wherein the identifier identifies the system from among a plurality of systems;
• send the manifest data and the associated identifier to an orchestrator server;
• detect a change in at least one or more of the characteristics of the system;
• update the manifest data based on the detected change, wherein the update specifies the detected change in the one or more characteristics of the system;
• and
• send the update of the manifest data to the orchestrator server.

A method comprising:

• generating, by circuitry, manifest data indicative of one or more characteristics of multiple devices coupled to a system, wherein the manifest data comprises configuration information indicative of a firmware applied by individual devices of the multiple devices and wherein the configuration information indicative of a firmware applied by individual devices of the multiple devices specifies one or more of:
• a BIOS version, baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware version, DIMM firmware version, and/or solid state drive (SSD) firmware version and wherein the system is one of a plurality of systems;
• associating, by the circuitry, an identifier with the manifest data, wherein the identifier identifies the system from among the plurality of systems;
• sending, by the circuitry, the manifest data and the associated identifier to an orchestrator server;
• detecting, by the circuitry, a change in at least one of hardware resources, firmware resources, or the configuration of the system;
• generating, by the circuitry, an update of the manifest data based on the detected change, wherein the update specifies the detected change in the at least one of the hardware resources, firmware resources, or the configuration of the system;
• and
• sending, by the circuitry, the update of the manifest data to the orchestrator server.
