Examples of cloud-based provisioning of a computing system are disclosed. In an example, a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the computing system may be configured to establish a secure cloud provisioning connection between a cloud manager and the BMC. UEFI configuration may be received from the cloud manager over the secure cloud provisioning connection. A UEFI shell may be executed during a startup of the computing system initiated by the cloud manager. Based on the UEFI configuration, a provisioning proxy server communicatively coupled to a cloud repository may be identified. A startup script may be requested from the cloud repository over a network connection using a UEFI network stack. The startup script may download an image file via the provisioning proxy server from the cloud repository over the network connection and provision the computing system from the image file.

Cloud-based provisioning of UEFI-enabled systems

In some examples, a cloud-based management system receives information identifying electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management by the cloud-based management system, receives, from a first electronic device, a request to establish a secure connection between the cloud-based management system and the first electronic device, and receives, from the first electronic device, a certificate. The cloud-based management system confirms, based on information in the certificate and the information identifying the electronic devices to be onboarded for cloud-based management, that the cloud-based management system is to perform the cloud-based management of the first electronic device over the secure connection.

Onboarding for cloud-based management

A robust hardware fault management system, method and framework for providing robust hardware fault management for enterprise devices are disclosed. In one example, hardware devices and associated hardware modules in each of the enterprise devices requiring the robust hardware fault management are identified. Further, error structures associated with each hardware module are determined and unique identifiers are assigned to the determined error structures. Furthermore, the error structures are modeled in a centralized repository. In addition, rules are associated with each modeled error structure for detecting hardware failures. Moreover, the rules of each modeled error structure are stored in the centralized repository using associated rule identifiers.
