Examples described herein includes initialization of a computing node cluster. An example method providing a query request from an initialization application/service of a computing node for a default configuration management server identifier via a network, and receiving, from a network management server, an internet protocol address associated with the default configuration management server identifier. The example method further includes providing a configuration request from the computing node to the internet protocol address requesting configuration information, and receiving the configuration information at the computing node from a configuration management server associated with the internet protocol address.

Apparatuses and methods for zero touch computing node initialization

Examples described herein may include virtualized environments having multiple computing nodes accessing a storage pool. User interfaces are described which may allow a user to enter one or more IP address generation formula for various components of computing nodes. Examples of system described herein may evaluate the IP address generation formula(s) to generate a set of IP addresses that may be assigned to computing nodes in the system. This may advantageously allow for systematic and efficient assigning of IP addresses across large numbers of computing nodes.
